this review title is: not a shaving brush and the content is: the description says shaving brush and that is why i bought it but the brush box says its a beard brush so i still tried using it as a shaving brush big mistake it was like using a pot pan scrub brush i could not raise up a lather it is so stiff but it did a nice job exfoliating my facebadger do not think so i have many real badger brushes this appears to be horse or boar there might be some goat mixed in who knows for sure.there are other information for this review, one is this reviewer did purchase it and the other is 0 people think this review is helpful.
