Well it arrived... 3-4 days after I placed the order.
I have to say, the brush is very nicely put together, the handle is nice in the hand and adds a nice weight to the brush. The sticky label was not fully stuck down but this is a new production line and this will probably be sorted out soon [I re-positioned and re-applied my label - but it doesn't bother me anyway]
The bristles are stiff but the ends quite soft. It didn't have a pungent smell, but enough to make you think "I need to wash this"
I ran it under a hot tap and decided that I would break-it-in on a puck of MWF. The resultant lather was GREY.. the following day, the soap was actually discoloured. Putting this aside, the brush is well made, has only shed two bristles.
I think this brush is going to take some time to break-in. But in regards its construction - second to one.
