Great brush.
By Gerald
This is a really beautiful brush. I was looking for a replacement for an entry level badger brush and decided to find a nice silver tip to see if they live up to the hype. I also decided if I was going to spend the money I wanted something with a bit of class and not a mass produced machine made product, so I opted to search out a nice hand made brush. This brush is beautiful, comes in a nice case, that I don't use now that the brush hangs on its stand. The brush itself is incredibly plush and soft. I confess that I had issue building a lather the first few days, but that was really due to the fact that this brush can hold so much more water than my old badger brush, I was actually diluting my own lather. Once I figured the ratio in the new brush, the lather is amazing, I can easily get enough lather for my 3 passes and one touch up/buffing pass.This is a really nice brush, yes it is a tad on the expensive side, but you could spend the same or more on an Art Of Shaving brush without the classiness or history. Good buy if you are looking to enhance your shaving "me" time, and enjoy using fine products. IMHO this is not a must have brush, more like a "I would really like to have one of those brushes." type of brush. And if you do receive one as a gift or buy one you will be extremely pleased with it. (still worth popping in your wish list :-), who knows maybe someone else will buy it for you)If you just want a good silvertip brush and really don't care if its traditional styling, handmade or any of those type issues, then there are plenty of really nice silver tip brushes that are a lot less expensive.

Like the other reviewer, I was looking for a replacement for my old brush, which was also my first. Needless to say I did not take very good care of my old one, so it only lasted a few years for me. Since I love straight razor shaving, I decided to dish out the extra $ for this one.It does come in a very nice case, which I plan on using as a traveling case for the brush since it holds the brush very well. It is definitely a quality brush, I only used it once and got fantastic lather, and enough lather to shave twice. I did not lose a single bristle on the first shave, compared to my first brush which lost at least 2 every time I made a lather.If you want a good quality brush, this is definitely worth it. Provided you want to spend the money for it.

By Amazon Master
This is a fantastic brush. It is probably more than you "need" but it feels like heaven on your face. People say that you really can't tell the difference between a $60 dollar badger brush and a high end silvertip like this one... trust me... you can. I have recently gotten into the shave crave, and I actually bought a $60 brush. Here's what happened: Hairs fell, low water retention, slower lather, and rougher on face. Trust me, there is a difference. Do you NEED that difference? Absolutely not. Do you WANT that difference... Hell yeah! I am so excited when I use this brush that I intentionally lather 3-4 times "just in case I missed something" The circular motion feels spectacular and the side to side is out of this world... This brush truly caresses your face. If you've got it, GET IT!
