Vie-Long Zurito Blanco First Impression

Wanted to try a horse hair brush so this came in today, a Vie-Long Zurito Blanco 13061B natural white horse hair brush. I did one test face lather with it so it really is a first impression. Just love the handle as it is very comfortable in the hand for face lathering and does not look to shabby either. The brush loaded soap easily and built a good lather on the face. So far so good.
I like to use a combination of circles to build the lather and painting strokes to spread it. When doing circles if I applied the amount of pressure I normally use the brush exhibited a far bit of scritch/scratchiness which I did not care for. That was eliminated by easing up on the pressure so I think as I adapt my technique to the brush all will be well there too. The brush may even break in over time like a boar but being my first horse hair brush I can't say for sure.
Basically a favourable first impression over all and very different from any boar, badger or synthetic that I have used so far. I am thinking it will grow on me.
