bad quality not boar bristle and possibly received a used brush [SEP] this product is not as described in the description as others have said most of the bristles are nylon and not actual boar bristle the brush i received does not even come in a box as others have said and came in a generic plastic bag with a sticker label on it the brush itself appears to be used because the handle of the brush has a lot of dents in it and scratches the brush itself had a lot of weirdly long bristles that would stick out and it looked like the brush may have been used before this brush also smells awful like chemicals and i am returning this product not sure where others have purchased their brush from but i got mine from gran goods and it appears they might be selling used brushes with the fake bristles buyer beware
