Thread: Men-U pure bristle

That brush was rested long time in my shelf
I had tried the cream from that brand,nothing special,basically i think was an imitation
With Pure Bristle knots i haven't got the best relationship and i was a little sceptical before the test begins.
The handle is like the Omega Boar Brushes
The knot washed with soap,joined with white vinegar solution,again in soap,dried and the test began.

I apply face lathering and in purpose not bowl lathering

The brush loaded with soap and the swirling started

Result: I don't like that brush at all !
Not only the handle is lightweight but also the knot absorbs lather but not give him back
Is only for painting movements that i don't like, and despite the good loading had not enough lather for the 2nd and the 3rd pass.
That brush falls behind the Badgers even from my Boars
It's in the same level as some cheap no name brush that i had before two decades.

My fears verified,this brush has nothing good to show
The 5 euro Omega Boar brush is far better than that
So Men-U for me is out and this brush is a " shipwreck ."

Thanks for watching.

That is pretty disappointing for sure. I have one of those cheap Omega boar brushes and after it is broken performs far better that I would have suspected for the price. The Omega is quite decent.

Thanks for the review.

As I recall that brand isn't exactly known for quality brushes.

Thank you my friends.
This isn't the first shaving with that brush
In the beginning was very stiff,after some shavings is what you see above
No matter how many times i tried this brush was not good
It's on retire now.
