Thread: L'Occitane Cade Plisson Brush

So yesterday when I first took the brush home, I thought the knot felt to me a little like the body shop brush in that while it was extremly soft, it felt cheaply made, for lack of a better word. You can run your fingers through the middle of the knot with no pressure at all. It felt light and thought it was just a great "value" brush. Used it for a full shave today, pretty amazed how it preformed. Will probably be my daily brush, if I leave my whiskers to grow a few days will probably look for my vulfix. My experience with brushes is very limited but for what it's worth, I'm slowly falling in love with this brush. "Brush of the Gods"? IMO probably not, brush for me? Very much so.

What colour did you guys get? Pics I've seen are dark brown, wood pattern. Mine is just plain black.

Dark brown wood pattern from the L'Occitaine store. oddly it says Plisson on the handle and not L'Occcitaine.

Mine was a very dark brown wood grain. Very satisfied with this brush.

Currently it is one of my favorites. That being said I have a TGN High Mountain White set in a Pixelfixed custom brush on it's way to me. I have a strong feeling the new brush is going to take center stage.

I got mine last friday and i can say that for 30$ it was worth it!

It's the best brush I've used sofar and i didn't regret buying it, although if it had a bit more backbone I'd be much more happy!

If you want a bit more backbone Muhle STF has it and I think the EJ synthetics do too but haven't tried one yet. The synthetic with the most backbone I have tried is a Simpsons Chubby 2 synthetic. Many complained the loft was too short making the brush too stiff for them to use. I just love mine though.

I was told Soft Face Facial Beard Brush Shaving Mustache Brush with Bamboo Handle Brown | eBay
this has identical fibre but twice the density. At £2.19 free shipping there is no down side. Will post a short review when it comes in 4/5 weeks time.

Was looking for a brush like that locally to try out, but could not find any, because I was curious about that same idea. I'll bet it works.

I hate the look of the handle but at that price..............

This is why I think your cosmetics brush will work http://straightrazorpalace.com/brush...e-brushes.html .
