Ordered this about a month back. I wanted to use it before writing about it. The brush feels solid with a nice heft. It comes with a little plastic stand to help keep it in the proper position when not in use. On first use it lost maybe 5-6 bristles as is to expected. After that I've rarely seen more than one bristle come loose during a shave.
Lather characteristics are very different from nylon brushes (in a positive way). Would recommend to anyone who wants something better than the usual.
