Wonderfully soft brush. Builds a quick lather with creams and soaps, and holds well. Very wide bristle stance is nice too, it allows for more of your face to be lathered with fewer strokes of the brush.

This brush is much smaller than I had anticipated and is barely wide enough to be supported by a
standard brush stand.

The bristles are soft and comfortable against your face. The handle certainly appears and feels like
plastic to me so I don't know what kind of "all natural handle" it is suppose to be?

I would not purchase this brush again. While I personally don't care what material the handle is made
from I would have opted to spend more for a standard size brush. I have uploaded two pictures in customer
images above so you can get some sense of the actual size & appearance of this brush.

Last but more Importantly I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS IS SILVER TIP BADGER HAIR. I have went to the manufacturers
website and translated it from Italian to English and they do not claim it to be sivler tip badger hair and
they specifically state that the handle is "resin."

This a really great little brush with an excellent price for a silvertip. It builds up lather from soap really well, and holds a ton of water.

If you're really going to get into wet shaving, then you need to consider this brush. It's only marginally more expensive than lesser quality brushes, and you WILL notice the difference on the first shave.

To address the previous commenter, this IS Badger hair. It's listed on the Omega site as "Tasso", which is badger. The handle is indeed plastic, which could be natural depending on your definition.

I've had this brush for 2.5 years in use daily, and it's been a good brush.
