This was my first shaving brush, the Pure Badger from AOS. It was NOT floppy and it allowed me to work up a really good lather - I prefer to lather on my face and not in a bowl. I enjoyed using the brush so much I upgraded to a Silvertip brush by AOS which I love. If you're not sure if you are going to like using a shaving brush, this is a great one to start out with without the risk of having spent too much on something you end up not using. You don't even have to upgrade to a more expensive brush if you like this particular one, since it really does get the job done well. I recommend this Pure Badger brush as opposed to the least expensive, which is the Best Badger

So i am no expert on shaving brush but I have used quite a few already before purchasing this one. First impressions is that it is quite small. the handle is smaller than the others i have owned. I don't believe it will fit a traditional brush holder as it is smaller than usual. Moving on the brush itself are quite soft. First time using the brush i thought maybe a little to soft as you want a little stiffness to apply the soap better but after a couple of uses the brush seems to of gotten better. I am very pleased with the brush considering its under $15 and what i have been extremely pleased with is that no bristles are falling off so the product is made well. I would definatley buy again!

This shaving brush is light years ahead of the one it replaced. Its bristles are full and and hold an abundance of lather. The bristles are a bit stiff and prickly, but they are softening up with repeated use.
