Grandslam Finest Badger Shaving Brush with Resin Handle- Engineered for the Best Shave of Your Life (Gray)

Great High quality brush with beautiful cratsmanship. The bristles are soft and work great. It's so hard to buy a quality brush online. This one is amazing

First let me acknowledge that this is my upgrade from the boar bristle brush that came with my Van Der Hagen® Luxury Shaving Set. That kit was a great start for deciding whether or not I wanted to get into this as upping my shaving game from shaving creams and gels that come from a can. It was good enough to make me decide that this was the path that was worth the added effort.However, I also knew that it wasn't the end all/be all of this... So, I decided to make some improvements by upgrading the individual items from that kit. This brush was one of those things.I decided that I wanted to try something that while retaining stiffness, but be softer than the boars hair brush that came with my "starter kit". This badger hair brush totally fit the bill.Some people claimed that it has an offensive wet dog smell. Being that I have 5 dogs, I know what wet dogs smell like. This had a hint of that smell, but nowhere near as strong as an actual wet dog. This smell goes away after a couple uses.I can't compare this to the brushes that cost 5-15X as much as this, as I don't own them. That said, it was a dramatic improvement over a boar bristle brush in how soft it feels, retaining shape on the bristles, the lather it makes and still being stiff enough to be functional. I also prefer the weight of it and think it's attractive looking, as well as like how sturdy the handle feels.Well worth the $11.99 paid for it, I'd highly recommend.

I like the bristles in the brush and holds lather wellAs well as easy clean up.

This brush is comfortable as it glides over your face, very smooth. It doesn't shed like some of the other brushes I've used before.

You couldn’t ask for a nicer shave brush. Solid construction … great texture in the bristles and it looks great!

100% pure boar bristle brush feels wonderful on the skin and lathers up well.

I've been wet shaving for decades, my husband however has always been a bit reluctant of safety and Straight edge razors with his recent complaints about the awful Cartridge razor he uses I decided to put a little package together for him and see if he's ready to give it another whirl. I included a Merkur Futur ( I have love the Futur razor) , Stand, Bowl and some TOB in Rose which he already likes very much and uses.I chose this brush as I loved the look of it, the gorgeous blue and mirror like chrome are a nice break from the standard barrel shapes you see time and time again. Considering the price I was hesitant and had a hunch the bristles we going to fall more than short of Silver Tip. To my surprise the brush is softer than expected, the weight is a bit light but I'm comparing it to my Dovo's and my Merkur - so it's not quite fair. It fits perfectly in the stand (unlike the Futur!) and really is smashing looking.It's starting to bloom quite well and most important of all he loves it. I would say if you're a novice, on a budget or just looking for a decent back up brush that won't break the bank this would be a fine choice. Also important to note is that the brush comes beautifully packaged in a black box, sealed in cellophane, making it ideal for gift giving.G

Decent brush. Small handle is hard to grip with my large hands while wet. Feels like I'm continually on the edge of dropping it while whipping up a lather in my mug. Easily makes a fine lather with minimal effort, though.
