Taconic ShavePremium Synthetic Silvertip Luxury Shaving Brush with Deluxe Beechwood and Chrome Handle, Shaving Stand Included

Im a 68 yo woman and have been washing my face with a shaving brush for many years. It was time for a new one, one made without any plastic. I did my research and discovered the inhuman way natural bristles are harvested from animals and knew I wasn't going to patronize this practice, I would be buying synthetic bristles. I found the Taconic shave brush and decided to try it. Couldn't be happier with my purchase. Well made, lathers nicely, not too heavy, rinses easily. I will be buying this again in the future.

Looks good does the job

This is the first synthetic shaving brush I have purchased and used. I really like it so far. Other reviewers said it's too heavy. I don't think so, but you'll have to decide for yourself. This brush doesn't hog the shaving soap. It creates a nice lather. It does come with a stand. Only drawback is that this brush didn't fit on my razor stand. No biggie since it has a stand.

One of the best knots I've ever used. Soft tips, just right backbone. BUT..... the handle is way way way WAY too heavy. There's a reason Simpson and Thater and every other mega premium brush maker uses plastic or wood handles. Balance. All my other brushes can be placed bristle down leaning against the side of my lather bowls during a shave. The heavy handle on this one pushes it down into your lather. It's just FAR too heavy for me.

Builds good lather, holds enough water to do the job. The heavy real wood handle doesn't bother me.
