Anyone buy one of these Brushes ?

New Silvertip Badger Shaving brush Handmade top line!!! - eBay (item 170255625065 end time Aug-26-08 17:24:41 PDT)

They are going for $50-$75 using the make an offer option....

just curious if anyone here has ever bought one and what they thought of it.

Thanks

I know nothing about the brush, but the sales pitch has got to be straight out of the State Fair Midway Hawkers' Handbook. :roflmao
It is incredible that something that good could be so cheap.;)

hmmm....it says "the best a man can get" ....here i was, thinkin that Gillette was the best a man can get...:roflmao:roflmao:roflmao

I would reckon that the brush is probably ok. But, personally, I tend to steer away from sales pitches with too much "flair" in them.

For $75 buy a Saville Row or Rooney in Super.

This is a shaving brush from the Shenyang Delong Fur and Leather Products Co. Ltd, simply known as Delong in the wetshaving community. It comes with a silvertip-haired head of excellent quality but the plastic handle is crappy. Meeme and I both have got a Delong shaving brush and are very satisfied with them. But never, never, spend $75 nor $50 since they are sold by the manufacturer for ~$15 each unit! There are several Chinese hair companies that sell these generic silvertip shaving brushes, like Bazhou Haosheng Fine-hair Co or Heavenhorse Hair Process Factory.
