This gets rave reviews among the shaving fraternity.
This is what one reviewer makes of it on The Vintage Scent Co website:

The brush is now priced at 17.95 euros.
I got mine at the old price and have spent some time lathering with it to break it in quickly. Even the smell has gone. My photos show what it looks like now.
I have used it for three shaves so these have to be regarded as first impressions.
The brush feels good in the hand, and lathers well with cream and soap. It is very soft and quite floppy so it feels gentle on the face. It is pleasant to use and gets the job done.
This is not a big brother to the 1305. It is completely different. More like a gentle elderly aunt.
It works. If you have the two brushes you wouldn't need another.
But I guess there is another question. How do these compare with decent badger brushes? Well I think that's like comparing an Escort with a Lexus. They will both get the job done but I know which I would rather have.
