Who was it put me onto the Turkish horse hair brushes for a quid or so? Johnus? Antdad? Buy two, you said - so I did. Anyway, they arrived this morning and very much looked the part but hey! a brush for a quid. Rinsed one of them, then lathered up with some zingy citrus Moma Bear's soap and my opinion of "cheap rubbish" didn't change until the lather slicked - at which point the brush transformed into a very good tool. Felt good on my skin, lathered evenly. I was amazed. Did it again - same result!
I have a La Vie horsehair on it's way, accompanied by a horsehair and badger so I have high hopes for them - but these Turkish quid brushes are going to take a bit of beating!
Tomorrow it will be Arko and a quid brush - in the meantime, anyone know how to get rid of the stable smell without damaging the brush?
