I was just at target and they have the Van Der Hagen products there. It's two soaps, a badger brush, and a set with all of that plus a stand and mug. The brush is 10 dollars and when I checked it out it was actually okay for the price. It's reasonably soft and fluffy and I guess it's a nice medium size. For a first brush, or for a young shaver it seems like an okay buy. Certainly better than the cheap boar brushes one sees at the drugstore.
