Small but effective brush, 13 Mar. 2016

Prior to this purchase, I've been doing all my shaving with compressed shaving cream from a can and spreading it with my hands. Now whilst this has hitherto been functional, it was still resulting in some unwanted cuts. Frankly, a chiseled look shouldn't have to be literal.However, I then decided to swap my disposable razor with a safety razor and bought some proper shaving cream and this handy brush. I'll be perfectly honest; I subsequently had the smoothest shave I've ever given myself. The blade just glided across my face. Furthermore, and this might be just me, but I quite enjoy the tactile feel of the brush against my face. It reminds me of the times I'd get a shave at the barber and that somehow puts my mind at ease.Does what you'd expect it to do!

My First Shaving Brush., 18 Nov. 2015

Using a Shavette, which has been a bloody transition from a safety razor. Was going to give up on it due to too many cuts (not nicks, cuts). after a bit of reading it sounded like a brush would enhance my shave. I was sceptical, so i decided to find a cheap brush just to give it a go. as it turns out i have not cut myself once since using this (about 10 shaves). I have a beard so I dont need to shave my full face, the small size suits me fine. Body Shop shave cream direct on the brush and straight on the face to lather (no bowl, yet). it seems well made, has little to no smell at all.Has made a massive impact on my shave, as much as the transition from multi-blade razors to safety or shavette single blade. Very much worth it!

Love it, well made and no bristle loss, 5 Feb. 2016

Love it, well made and no bristle loss, very chunky. I have large hands and I thought that I needed the larger size, I now wish I had opted for the smaller stubby version that would be easier to use at fingertips, but don't let this put you off as I only wish I could have held it first. Having a wooden handle it feels warm and organic in the hand and not at all like the other plastic lumps that hardly manage to hold the bristles in (like my last one, but I'm not bitter). As an aside, I washed mine with hair conditioner before use, that may or may not have helped, but I did anyway.Well made, comfortable and makes shaving a pleasure, wish I had chosen the stubby one though.
