All of the brushes I have used were used boar brushes. This brush took up water very well and applied a wonderful lather many times over. Very impressed and satisfied with the quality!

Amazing lather for a fraction of the price

I just wanted to say that I love Razor Emporium products. This unfortunately was a dud for me. I have had this badger brush for a little while, I loved the feel of it. It fit well in my hand. It lathered my soaps well. My one huge complaint was the constant shedding. This brush shed several hairs at every use. No e of my other brushes shed as much as this one. So all else being equal I have to say it's the rush and not me. Finally, I pulled so many loose hairs from the brush, there was a badger in my sink. I had to throw the brush away. Just my experience.

My first brush of any kind. Having no idea what to expect I was very pleased at how soft and comfortable it felt. Coupled with my Prorasso Sandalwood soap, it elevated my experience in a way that was unexpected. Now I realize that I will need a travel brush because I now actively dislike using shaving cream and speading it with my fingers. Thanks to you I will be buying the Holy Black True Black Synthetic brush especially as it comes with a travel tube!
