REVIEW
Packaging: 1/10
Cost containment in Chinese cheap products reaches the state of the art .

Quality: 7/10
Given that it is an industrial product and low-end , are very satisfied.
The plastic is of good quality. As well as the finish.
The tuft is even better than I expected .
It has a good backbone associated with a softness unsuspected for a finest.

Stripped : 8/10
In the early days one or more hairs , especially in the central part , detached .
In total will have been about a dozen , but that did not spoil the quality of the tuft .

Density: 7/10
It is not an exaggeration, but certainly more than adequate.
Compared to other brushes Finest I know, is slightly less dense.
This, however, leaves no holes or abnormal behavior.

Connection stiffness : 8/10
This brush has a node from 23x54mm (compared to the standard card of 24x55mm ) .
I believe this small difference affects the perception of rigidity of the tuft .
I think it is more than enough, with a backbone almost comparable to the more full-bodied Chubby FS .

Softness : 8/10
The tips are very soft , to be a degree Finest .
Used only for mounting in the face, even from the first beards looks nice.

Handle: 9/10
A handle much longer (though not very long ) compared to the average of about 50mm .
Perfectly suited to those with large hands , although a greater section would fill the hand better .
Equally valid for those who prefer the bowl assembly , and does not like to lose foam on hands and neck .
Surely the shape is a classic, subtly revisited by the new brand Liojuny .

Ergonomics: 8/10
The grip is comfortable , albeit insufficient to fill the hand comfortably resting .
The control is always great. Will not come off even if inadvertently steals the foam between your fingers.
The total size , especially in relation to the handle and the clump, making it a great all-rounder.
Personally I find it perfect for mounting in the face.

Foaming capacity : 8/10
The tuft absorbs and retains a good amount of water. Especially if properly left a few minutes in hot water before shaving .
The degree Finest is often enough to create a good backbone and a good mechanical action of harsh soaps and semi-hard .
But with soft tips so be foamed easily creams and gels .
The dollop of low-medium size does not eat too much soap , and creates a very remarkable amount of foam .

Price: 10/10
For $ 12.99 is really a bargain.
Value / price hard to beat .

Conclusion: 8/10
A brush that I have chosen for aesthetics and because I did not know the brand new LJ ... and at that price it was fun in that .
I was faced with a very good product , which currently has fully supplanted my Silvertip .
Debunked the myth that only knows how to make LJ Silvertip . Even the Finest are worthy of praise.

Thanks for that review.
