They're not a boar or a badger, for example. They're not as soft as they once were, but they've kept their firmness. I like mine a lot and will buy another if it ever loses its firmness, which hasn't happened yet after 6 months.

Selected User Reviews For Burma-shave Shaving Brush
This brush was part of a small package I put together in 2011 to commemorate my son's first shaving experience-- I wanted to make it one of those small father-son gifts that he can keep and use all the time, hopefully bringing back some pleasant memories. It could have been a faulty batch. br>br>The bristles on my son's brush are a little stiff, and they haven't softened much over time. They're not difficult, and they won't strip you of your skin, but you get the idea. The bristles, on the other hand, are beginning to fall out. He's most likely lost to 30% of them at this moment. br>br>Again, maybe it was just a bad batch, and the bristles are falling out because of it- That's my hope. Burma Shave is a neeto, retro brand that I'd like to see continue to exist; I own a Burma Shave brush that I bought nearly ten years ago. I like it a lot. Shaving with a real blade, a mug of soap, and a brush is one of those manly pleasures that no man should pass up. My brush has natural bristles (I believe they are boar bristles) that are incredibly soft. It's not as soft as a more expensive badger hair brush, but it's adequate. I'd like the brush to pull back just a smidgeon. They do soften up a little with use, gang, and I find them to be very comfortable to use. I've read that they smell like a wet animal for a while in some reviews-- That was something I never took into consideration. My brush is still as good as it was when I first got it out of the box- As a result, I decided to buy another Burma Shave brush for my son. I wanted to give him something that was both valuable and of high quality. Regardless, I'm going to get a new Burma Brush for my son. yet another time-- and I'm hoping it'll last longer. If it doesn't, I'll be back to give everyone an update- I'll also see what I can do about getting a message to the company- Inform them that they might need to re-submit their application. Consider the following. Many thanks to all. br>br>2/5/15 Update: As previously stated, I purchased a new Burma brush for my son. It, too, has lost a few bristles, and it appears that the loss is increasing- The brush, on the other hand, is at least four years old. Maybe a shaving brush has a lifespan of this length? br>br>I'm keeping a close eye on it- I'm tired of throwing money away on useless items. I guess it'll come down to time. Oh, it still has a lot of life in it, and hey, I didn't get hurt for $8 or so. br>br>Do you want to know what my personal Burma brush is? It's still going strong after more than a decade since I bought it. I guess this has been my yardstick against which I've measured everything, as I've had no bristle loss. I'm using it with my Williams Shave Soap and it's fantastic. In my opinion, shaving does not get any better.
I'm a beginner when it comes to wet shaving. This is the first time I've tried something like this. To be honest, I bought it because of the reasonable price and a longing for the old Burma Shave, which was so popular when I was a kid in the 1950s and 1960s. It does an excellent job, in my opinion. It's a little smaller than some of the more expensive brushes I've seen in stores, but that's not a problem. It's soft, perhaps a tad softer than I prefer, and it holds a lot of water and lather. I'll try a more premium (read: more expensive) brush soon, but as a beginner to wet shaving, I find the Burma Shave brush to be very good and a great value.
I've had this brush for three years and decided it was past time to replace it.
This brush is a good value for the money, but it isn't particularly good. It's a little stiff at first, but as I use it more, it's starting to soften up. It doesn't have as many bristles as another brush I used to have, but they don't seem to fall out as easily. In conclusion - This isn't a bad swab. When I need a new one, I'll probably purchase another. However, it falls short of the much more expensive alternatives.
The brush comes in a Burma Shave-branded box, but there are no labels on the brush, it's smaller than expected, and it's just another brush. Even so, I'm sure the birthday boy will be pleased with the box it arrived in. Regrettably, it did not arrive in perfect condition. It had a few blemishes on it. Even so, the grandson will understand that I genuinely care about him. It is not worthwhile to return.
This classic shaving brush is still one of my favorites in terms of appearance and feel. The number of bristles that come out while applying shave soap to my face or loading the lather onto the brush is my issue with it. It sheds as much as my Labrador!.
The knot is a little smaller in diameter, but the bristles are nice and stiff, and the brush lathers well. It pleases me a great deal.
This is my second brush, but the bristles start falling out after about a month or so, and it's quite a hassle to stop and pick them off your face while attempting to shave. I'm not sure if it's the glue they use or what, but they clearly need to invest some R&D. D to make it better.
