Fine® Classic Shaving Brush

Truly this is one of the best shaving brushes I have ever used. It is the right travel size for me, and it picks up a load of lather and whips it up so well. The knot is soft and luxurious with a slight backbone and gives a rich and pleasing scrub while preparing the beard or head for a shave. It is solidly made and does not lose any strands after over 3 months of use so far. I love using it, and highly recommend it to all wet shaving enthusiasts like me. Keep up the excellent production.

A nice brush, works up a great lather and feels good on the face.

This is a really nice brush for creams. It's super soft. Not aggressive at all.

I thought it was fine

Soft but solid

very good synthetic brush, soft and perfect for travel.

I've been wet shaving for about three years now. When I first started I didn't know any better, so I dropped a bunch of money on a fine badger hair brush from Art of Shaving. I was pleased with it, but noticed it didn't handle harder soaps that well. So my wife got me an Omega boar hair brush as a gift. It was OK, but the lather it built up was too thin, so I stuck with the badger. After two years of use, my expensive Art of Shaving brush began shedding hairs by the dozens. So I decided to give this "Angel Hair" synthetic brush a try. I'm so glad I did. It has become my daily brush. For being a synthetic, the hairs are still supper soft and supple, yet they mix up a mean lather with no problems. I've had this brush for nine months, and I think it has lost maybe two hairs- and that was my fault, not the brush's. You see, if there is one flaw with synthetic brushes, it is that they cannot stand up to near-boiling water temps. I didn't know that, and soaked it in some extremely hot water one morning, permanently damaging some of the bristles. But if you learn my mistake and don't do that, this brush should serve you well for years.

This is an amazingly soft brush for those who don't want to go the superior badger route. As a starter brush for DE or SE shaving, This brush didn't shed, didn't have any sort of odor, and worked great right out of the box for application. It generates a great lather, and doesn't take long to soften up by soaking.

After a couple of weeks it is not yet falling apart. It is Made in China so I fully expect that should start soon. Notice how Amazon doesn't list the country of manufacturing. 3 stars now which will either be raised or lowered down the road.

Not much else to add to all these other glowing reviews.No it's not badger hair, but it feels great on the face and costs a fraction of the real thing.This is a most excellent brush to add into any mans rotation.

Images imply you will get more than the brush, which makes it more appealing to the buyer, but the brush alone is more expensive for less when compared to other products. If I put an image of a bike and only mail the bicycle seat, that would not be cool. Considering returning it.

This brush was a pleasant surprise! At first I thought it didn't have much backbone. It didn't seem to be stiff enough to produce a good lather from the harder shaving soaps without a lot of effort. I tried this brush on an Arko puck just this morning. This brush's performance was impressive! In fact, I'm purchasing its "Chubby" big brother. This is a fine brush at a good price. I've no complaints on this high quality product.

I am pleased with product performance - I am impressed with the softness of the hair. I am hoping that synthetic will offer durability and be quick-drying. I have never used Badger but I've used Boar and this is an improvement for my needs. Boar hair being coarser did not glide across skin and manipulate the soap as smoothly as this, I think.This brand appears professional/competent.My problem is the cost of this brush. I just visited Stirling Soap Co. website and they had synthetic brushes of what I estimate are of equal quality for half the price of this one, so, I'm a bit miffed about that.Also side note, if you are planning on buying a stand - try to figure out the dimensions of each item (brush handle/holster) before purchasing. The wood stand I ordered from Amazon is a little too small for the brush for it's prongs to be seated properly around the grooves of the handle.

Here is the dirty little secret about shaving brushes.....Synthetic brushes are softer and more comfortable, last longer, whip up a great lather, better for sensitive skin and the best part....a Great Bargain when compared to more expensive badger brushes.This Fine brush is super quality and one of the best, if not The Best of the synthetics (Kent Infinity is also great). This is my favorite brush.For the price, you cannot go wrong!

Soft but solid

This is a good quality brush for the price. Works well with the fine lather bowl at producing a good lather and feels great on the skin.

It's very soft and of the best quality shaving brush. Amazon took a long time to deliver the item. I haven't used it yet since it arrived today. But I liked the brush.

I have tried different many different types of shaving brushes. However, this brush sits in a class of its own! I love this brush! It creates an immense amount of lather when using it with tube shaving creams and holds lots of water. It does take a bit of getting used and will have a slight learning curve, but it is awesome! It is not like your typical natural hair brush but do look forward to my shave and enjoy using it!

The brush it quite stiff. My shaving soap doesn’t last as long as it did with my older natural bristle brush. Not a big deal, and using synthetic bristles is far more humane.

love this brush

Great brush! This replaced my Proraso brush. This with the Fine lather bowl is my go to set up!

Very effective brush. Does the job

So far using this brush on daily routing to (shave)shape up my beard works great, not bad price is decent too.

This is the softest and most efficient shaving brush I have ever used. Lathers great and keeps its shape. Use it everyday. Glad I bought this one.

Brush itself feels fantastic on the skin.

This brush is a great value! It comes in several attractive color combinations, and the bristles are very soft. This is my first synthetic bristle brush, and I now understand why the perception of these has improved in recent years--it performs just as well as any badger hair brush I've ever used.

I'm also impressed with the quality at this price--it lost one hair on the very first use, and that was it! Whips up a great lather, and feels incredibly soft on my face.

Love this brush, holds cream well, very soft on the face, super quality.

Awesome item and would order again. Came in time and wonderful

What I do like about it is the cost. For sure worth it. What I’m not so fond of is that’s too soft for me. I like a more firm brush that gets into the soap and rubs the face with a firmer feel. Just my two cents but for the price, it pretty nice.

In all fairness it never used it. Seemed to have zero backbone and the bristles were of off kilter. The Stout is fine.

Don’t need much water to get great lather with shave soap. Super soft. Handle is a little slippery in shower but works great.
