Parker 100% Premium Black Badger Bristle Shaving Brush

Elegant and functional. One of my better purchases!

This was a big step up from my previous (Tweezerman) brush that was given to me as a present. It's so comfortable and the weight feels substantial in my hands. The marbling is truly beautiful and goes well with the chrome and black for an elegant contrast. There is a noticeable animal-smell when you first wet it after buying, but goes away after only a few uses. The bristles separate more when lathering than I am used to with my old brush, but it also feels smoother and it doesn't seem to affect my lathering negatively - I still get a better lather with this. My only complaint is that my older holder doesn't really hold it right, something about the balance makes it rotate strangely hang downwards. I think it's the smooth marble and weighting doesn't generate enough friction for my older holder to grip it. Not a biggie. I have it in a different stand at my GFs home and it fits that perfectly. Wish I'd known about how nice these brushes are earlier. I would have bought it a long time ago.

Really like the weight and feel of the handle.

Soft bristles make a rich lather. Shaving is enjoyable again. Really like the weight and feel of the handle.
