Shaving Brush - Blaireau

This was a Valentine's Day gift for my husband and he was disappointed that the handle is a plastic-like material. He also claims that the bristles have a strange smell. It does stand up right by itself and while it's not a true metal base, it is a very weighted material and doesn't feel lightweight and cheap.

I got this brush with the Proraso Tin kit and he loved it so much that he has amassed a Proraso collection on his own, fast. The brush holds the lather perfectly apparently and his hands stay mess-free.

boyfriend loves it

I bought this for my boyfriend who previously had only used badger brushes. He actually prefers the boar bristle now. He says the brush is stiff and lathers well.

Husband is very happy with it...

First of all, can't beat the price. Second the natural boar bristle performs the best and lasts the longest. All that's missing is a stand so the brush doesn't get damaged.
