Thread: 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.
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...

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.
