My old BK2 had given good service for many years, but was losing bristles, so a replacement was needed. I looked for a new BK2 with badger bristles, but they are no longer available and I support the reason why.

When the BK4S arrived I put the BK2 to one side, just in case. A week later the BK2 went in the bin and I'm very happy with the BK4S, to start it felt a bit different, but lathers better than the old one.

It’s OK but not as soft as the BK4 it has replaced. I do however understand the reason for the change.

Not as good as my old badger brush does not lather up the soap. Times we live in save the badger!
