newbie to shaving brushes, need help please

To be absolutely frank, I can't tell ...

It says "Pure Bristle" on the front, indicative of boar hair. The hair is not regular, as I would expect of a synthetic. There are brown hairs within, indicative of boar hair and they're all sorts of sizes, again indicative of boar hair. Despite it says "synthetic bristles" on the back of the packaging, it bears an uncanny resemblance to cheap boar brushes.

There are much better synthetic brushes available anyway ...

I'd just give this one a miss.
 
yea bit of a funny one

thought while i was in savers i'd take a quick pic for those of you who were curious about it
 
I've got 6 or 7 "defective" ones. Absolutely nothing wrong with them, I think it's just a ploy to move some stock.
yea maybe, really want to try ordering somethiing from aliexpress just for the experience tbh
 
It's like ordering from anywhere else ... just takes longer to arrive

You kind of have to buy and forget. Then, when it finally turns up you get a super little surprise!
ive had really good experience with dhgate, they keep the funds until items are delivered and it was really easy to use just followed tutorials on youtube
 
You needed tutorials to make an online purchase?
nah its not that, what it was is that a lot of people were saying they had issues putting their card details in and getting verified, so they were actually requesting for people to send pics of their credit/debit card in and as you can appreciate some people were saying avoid it

goes without saying i didnt send any card photos, i think that would be a silly thing to do imo,
check this vid out to give you an idea and yea they dont take paypal at dhgate

 
Don’t know if anyone has tried them but boots do an inexpensive bulldog brush that’s synthetic if you are looking for something you can walk in store and buy
 
I know some of you might think it's just cheap rubbish but I really like this erasmic synthetic brush, feels nice and firm which I feel really exfoliates my scalp so I really like it tbh
 
i got the bodyshop shaving brush the other day not sure if its better then the simple £2 one from wilko tbh YMMV
 
grabbed this babyliss shaving brush,
can't find any info on it online,
doesn't even say if it's synthetic or pure bristle etc, from the feel I assume its synthetic
