Great Brush

I got this in May 2021. It's now Nov.. I decided to give it a solid 6 months break in before i reviewed it. This brush is great. It's actually my first Boar brush coming from synthetic badger brushes. There is a big difference in how the hairs feel on your face. Definitely a longer time to break it in but it is worth it. This is only like $18 and that is a great deal for what you get. I really didn't know what to expect but this brand is well known and I decided to just go for it. Totally worth it. In the beginning it does feel very stiff and almost scratchy on your face. Once you start using it more and more each shave it will loosen up and feel softer. It will never be as soft as synthetic or badger but that is a good thing. This brush may have converted me to Boar's hair just because I like that stiffer feel on my face. I have to say it loads just as good if not better than a badger brush. There is a little more water that needs to be added but that's no big deal. It lathers well and covers a lot of your face with the long bristles. I think this is 60mm and the other brushes i have are slightly shorter but this is my "go to" brush for trying out new shave soaps. For the money I would say get 2 just to have if they stop making this specific model lol. I am thinking of getting another to have on hand just because of that. If you give it time and work through the stiffness for the first few weeks to a month or so.. it will be the perfect brush. The handle is a really good shape and feels very smooth. Highly recommend this one.
