I purchased this as I thought my 21 year old BK2 was past it, as it seemed to not lather very well. This is even worse it does not hold water and makes poor foam. The benefit of it not holding water means it does dry quickly. It feels soft at the tip and is slightly less stiff then the BK2. It is smaller in width too.

I am very happy to try Vegan alternatives but this is certainly not in the same league as badger. I will continue with the old brush, the donating badger died 22 years ago so would be gone by now anyway.

It works it's a brush, is it worth 14 pound more than the infinity doubt it.

No instructions to ensure I am using it as designed, i know it's only a brush but it does not lather like the old BK2 it has replaced. Not as much dense foam. I would advice those switching to synthetic to go cheap. One positive with this synthetic is it does dry quicker..

Excellent in every respect, replacing my 46 year old ivory original .
