Having had the BK8 badger brush for 10 years I was a little worried about this synthetic badger friendly version. It is at least as good interns of performance. It lathers up well and has a soft feel on the face . It is not a stiff brush and Initially it did seem to 'paint' the foam on the face but now the bristles splay nicely. The handle is a little larger but still comfortable to hold. It fits nicely on the large stand bought separately from Kent.

I’ve been using the extra large Kent shaving brush for over 6 months. I’ve got several other brands of shaving brushes, but come shave time, I always reach for the Kent shaving brush.

It’s very comfortable in the hand. The brush head has backbone, I feel they’ve got the balance just right, with backbone and flexibility that’s easy to work with any shaving soap or cream, before shaving.

Glad I purchased. Another bonus, the purchase cost of the Kent shaving brush, it’s a quality shaving brush. In the past, I’ve paid two and three times the cost of the Kent shaving brush, and no way near the quality. I shall happily purchase again, in the future.

Purchased the extra large version. One of the few times my lathering had hasn’t been covered in soap, after finishing my face lathering. Quality brush, at a reasonable price. Decided to use the paint brush stroke method. Easily got a great face lather.

Packing for the Kent brush is first class. Plus the outer packaging was substantial for the protection of the brush, and Kent’s traditional brush packaging.

Had a slight issue with the 10% discount, during the process of the purchase online. Phoned the company, and spoke to an actual person, and not a machine. I explained the situation, and she returned the 10% discount within minutes of my conversation with her, into my bank account. So first class service with the Kent shaving brush, and the person’s I spoke to, in the Kent office.

Big Thanks! gp
