I've been shaving daily with this brush for about four months now. I've found it to be a great value brush.
Pros: Inexpensive, soft, & looks beautiful.
Cons: Unsealed wood will split or crack on you if you get it wet.
Price: $22
Quality: 8/10
Density: 8/10
Stiffness of Tips: 8/10
Softness of Tips: 10/10 (I'm not sure you'd want anything softer than this.)
Ergonomic: 9/10 (Fits great in the hand.)
Latherability: 9/10 (Great lather production & easily holds enough for a three pass shave.)
Would recommend: Yes, without reservations. If you've never owned a Vie-Long, go buy one.
My Ecotools Bamboo Finishing Kabuki was getting lonely, so I needed to add another brush to the shaving stable. I love this brush. I haven't used the Ecotools once since the Vie-Long arrived in the mail. There was a slight horse smell for the first day or two, but it has been odor-free since.
It is nice to look at, fits well in the hand, and lathers like a champ. The wood has started to split a little, and the next one I buy will be plastic. Still, the brush works great and I think $22 is an excellent price for this level of performance.
