I have the Satin Tip in black, and really like it. Great feel to the handle and the brush does a good job. It isn't as soft or luxurious as my Silvertip badger brush, but it make an excellent travel brush given its light weight and fast drying. Definitely recommended and a steal at the $15 price tag.

Too bad their site considers shipping to Canada like if it was New Zealand....$25 for shipping.  US vendors normally charge around $10 max.  Not paying $40.  Shipping is almost twice the price of the brush.  I'd buy one.  too bad.

Try shipping to Europe it is even worse... 40 bucks for shipping... I can get US guitars shipped cheaper and I know for a fact that USPS charges 12-15 bucks for a package that small to Europe...

just got the white one and it does feel softer then the black one. I may only use these two brushes from now on, they seem to preform way better then my boars or badger and feel softer.

Just got both my brushes today....initial thoughts.  WOW, its a great little brush for 15$ 

Packaging-better than brushes that I have paid 4 times that amount for
Size- on the small end, but I don't like a big brush.  It's the perfect size IMO.  It is smaller than the Fine brush I think.
Feel- Just as soft as the Fine, but I have a hard time with feel.  If it isn't a boar brush I can't really tell, my face is the death valley of shaving .
Value-The price point is ridiculous on this item. 

I can't wait to try it out.

I believe Luxury Barber carries them, too, and I'd much rather give them my business. Straightrazor.com sells a lot of really unusable SRs and strops at high prices to unsuspecting newbies.

I bought the brush from whatever site had them listed for the cheapest that I found first.

I received my white this week and agree a great brush.. Hard to beat for $15.

It is giving my grooming company synthetic a real run for the money!

Fantastic brush. Exceeded my expectations and has jumped into the middle of the pack. Not just a travel brush. Love this thing
