I bought a brush from this Seller. Although it is a great brush, doesn't shed and lathers quite well, I feel forced to give negative feedback because the description of the brush was seriously inaccurate. This brush was described as having been used only 4-5 times in total and not even broken in. It is obvious from the scratches on the bottom and the condition of the hair that this brush has seen regular use for at least a year or two, if not longer. A brush that has been used 4-5 times would still look pristine. This brush has significant scratching on the bottom and the tips of the hair show the fuzziness and wear from significant use. I've been wet shaving for 15 years and I know a well used brush when I see one.
