good product [SEP] this brush is nice and it does the job. i had it for over a year and use it at least twice a week sometimes up to 4 times a week. the hairs are nice and with a medium strength to them. they are not super hard or super soft. they do provide a nice feel to the face and lathering shaving cream is easy and smooth and does not leave clumps or missed spots like other cheaper brushes sometimes do. only now after a year or so do some hairs com off the brush and i have to pick them out of my face but for the most part this happens once a while. not really an issue.
