VIKINGS BLADE Luxury Badger Brush, Heavy Swedish Alloy Base Plus Obsidian Acrylic, Dark Stallion

Had a very luxurious feeling on use of the Brush for Shaving.

Fırçanın malzeme kalitesi iyi. Su ve ısı tutmada başarılı. Ancak, köpük oluşturma, yüzde bıraktığı his, ucuz olanlardan çok farklı değil. Kaliteli malzemelerle üretilmiş ortalama bir fırçaya ihtiyacınız varsa satın alın. Ama, aynı performansta daha ucuz fırçalar olduğunu da unutmayın.

Recently, I jumped into the shaving brush and shave soap bandwagon, because I wanted to reduce my plastics and metals use. My previous shave brush was also my first, and it was very poky, almost like needles and bristles against the skin. it was incredibly uncomfortable. But I have a couple friends who also use shave brushes, and quelled my concerns that the bristles would soften over time. Well, I have had the shave brush for a few months now, shaving every other day, and it's not getting any better. So I was on the lookout for something softer. I read online that silvertip badger hair was "The Luxury" shave brush you could purchase, but when I looked online, I wasn't all that excited about spending $50-$75 for a shaving brush (some over $120!). Some guys online claimed that synthetic silvertip was every bit as luxurious, and looking online, seeing the prices at literally half the real thing, I figured I would give it a try. Amazon recommended Viking's Blade Dark Raven, so I gave it a go. It's night and day. Where the last brush was just a miserable experience of anger and hatred, this brush is like a cloud caressing my face, whispering sweet nothings to my lather. It's really quite impressive how soft the brush is against my skin. My shaving experience has improved tremendously. I now really enjoy my shave in the shower. Aside from the soft touch against my cheeks and neck, I really love the weight of this brush. My last brush worked. I mean, it fit in my hand, worked up a good lather, and spread it on my face, but it didn't really sit well in my brush holder. I had never really given any thought to the weight of a shaving brush, but this brush fits perfect in my holder. And when working up the lather in my mug, and applying it to my face, I notice the weight of the brush in my hand. This may sound silly, but I've become much more mindful about my shaving experience. I really don't have anything to nit-pick about with this brush. I probably am sounding a bit like an emotional zealot, or a paid-off corporate shill (I'm neither), but this really is a phenomenal brush, and for half the price of real silvertip badger hair, I really recommend this brush.

Very nice shaving lather brush. Made with all natural products. Hairs are soft but firm to work and apply the shaving soap/cream lather. The handle is made of walnut wood, strong and light weight. Nice quality overall. Would definitely recommend this over other products that are made out of plastic. I hope this to hold up for a long time. A few uses later..... Varnish is coming off the wood handle. Will need linseed oil it or use wood butter on the handle. (-1 ⭐️) _

A decent brush, but the wood is already discoloring after just a few uses. It gets kind of spotty and looks like it has mold growing on it. Not sure it's mold, but that's what it looks like. Also, it's not nearly stiff enough.

Lathers well and holds its shape on application. Seems well constructed and is likely to last a long time.
