Overall a fantastic brush, and one that is really difficult to beat at that price. Don;t worry about purchasing from "ebay". I've bought a couple brushes from jankdc's ebay store and it goes flawlessly each time. Great products and some of the fastest shipping I've ever received.

Not the densest brush in my rotation, but very nicely packed. Holds a lot of material, and easily releases lather where it belongs.

Moderate backbone. Excellent for bowl lathering, and splays very easily.

OUTSTANDING softness! This thing is an absolute joy to apply lather with. The tips are extremely soft. The softest brush in my collection, without being floppy.

EXCELLENT! Holds a fantastic amount of product, and produces great, cushiony lather.

Very smooth and lightweight. Open grain finish provides really decent grip, and the silver trim ring is gorgeous.

Outstanding product for it's price point. An inexpensive badger brush that performs very well, in my opinion.

Excellent Quality. A few shed hairs at the beginning, and a little funk, as expected, but the odor disappeared quickly, and the knot has settled into a very comfortable brush without further shedding.

Plastic box. Nothing fancy, but protected the brush from harm during shipping.
