Brush is now shedding hair like a moulting dog. Replacing it before it clogs my drain.

Like I said earlier, it's a decent brush for a decent price, but don't expect it to last. If you're committed to using a brush, be prepared to buy a better one later.

The lather quality is fine, no complaints there.

Like Logan, I bought this because I didn't want to spend a lot of money on say, a silvertip brush when I might not even like using a brush, and the stand was a nice bonus.

About 4 months after purchase, the rim started cracking in various parts. Apparently this is common with this make of brush, but it does not seem to have affected the brush's function. It did and still does make a decent lather. I am aware the instructions on this site say not to soak the brush, but you should be able to leave a brush designed for the purpose of shaving in a sink of hot (not boiling) water while you shower and have it not sustain damage (if that is indeed the cause).

I'll probably use it for a while yet before buying a Shavemac or something like that, but I imagine I'll keep this one around.

This was the first brush I owned. I highly recommend it for beginners (or those seeking a cheaper second brush). I bought it a few years ago and still use it occasionally.

My first brush from Mensbiz. This is a great brush for face lathering. Softens up nicely after a few uses and is great value for the price.

I purchased this brush because I was a newbie to DE shaving and didn't want to spend too many $$ just in case DE shaving wasn't for me. I was rather pleased with the brush. A little stiff for the first week or so, but has softened up since then. I have now ordered a badger brush (can't wait for it to arrive!), but will still use this one for my traveling kit.

Takes a bit of elbow grease to whip up a decent lather (use less water instead of more) and doesn't retain heat for long due to its small size, but for the price, it does the job admirably and you also get a sample tube of Men-U shave cream enough for at least 10 shaves!
