Highly Recommended
After soaking it in Dawn for a 10 minute wash and then lathering it up and letting it sit overnight, the brush was ready. It seems like a higher grade of badger than pure. It's got lots of quality badger hair and none has fallen out so far. Makes for a quick and amazing lather. Highly recommended. Be sure to clean any animal hair brush properly before use r to get the chemicals and animal smell out.
