This is BY FAR the best synthetic brush I have ever seen. Silver text I think it is called. It stays in perfect shape on the stand for you that are more fanatical about a tidy looking brush.

I may be wrong, but I think the fibre has micro-barbs on it to simulate the water-holding qualities of badger and boar.

Who cares. . . well what does it feel like. It feels like ultra luxury--that's what. Of course my version of ultra luxury is maybe not the billionaire level. Nice life those billionaires dodging those trying to steal their wealth. How about an exquisite shave brush and a fine British shave soap. Tell you--it can get no better. No better than Kent

The nylon bristles. only retain a small amount of water, resulting in soaping your face ,but not lathering.

I would not recommend this brush., and I am very disappointed.

Very good quality bristles. Feels good in the hand. Just the right dimensions to create a good lather.
