Ain't that the truth. I could describe a brush one way give it to another person and they would describe it another way. That is the trouble with all reviews of brushes, soaps and creams, far too subject. You really just have to try serveral to find one that suits you.

I used a boar brush on and off for over 40 years before joining shave forums and being "educated" on why certain badger brushes are "best". I bought a few badger brushes till I found what I liked but in the end they lather up a soap or cream about as well as my old cheap badger brushes. They may feel different but both get the job done and done well.
