To be honest it is the best non badger brush I have ever tried however since I have only ever tired one other then I am not a good judge. I do find it lathers with soaps like a dream and it is not as scratchy as my other boar brush which is a Vulfix No18, I know it is not getting the use it should so I think it mine is still breaking. It's just when I pick a brush off the shelf to shave with I find it hard not to pick up badger brush.
I should sell it I am sure there is a boar lover out there who would appreciate it more than me, still at least I gave it a try.
