Customer Reviews of Tweezerman Men's Shaving Brush
Customer Review: For the price, a great value!
Summary: 4 Stars
I'm very happy with this brush and I've been using it daily now for a month. It whips up a great lather and I've tried it with Taylor's Eton College cream, and a concoction of regular old soap mixed with Kiss My Face shaving cream and a couple drops of glycerin which both work wonderfully with it. All that said, it isn't the softest badger brush around, comparing it to one I bought for my father a few years back (although that one cost over 3 times as much) and it is pretty small too, so don't expect miracles out of it. For the price, it's tough to beat and so far seems pretty well made although it has lost a hair here and there. Not really a big deal to me. It holds a good amount of water within the hair after soaking in a hot bowl full for making a great warm lather after a shake or two.Customer Review: James Bond would be proud!
Summary: 5 Stars
This brush will give you such a smooth shave James Bond will be jealous. I got this brush for Valentine's Day to replace an old brush of my grandfather's, and it's awesome. It takes much less soap to use, and you can feel it working, but not in an uncomfortable way. I got a close smooth shave with no knicks or burns, which makes all the difference. The handle is a nice dark wood stain which makes it look much better crafted than the one in the picture. You can SMELL the stain when the brush is wet, hopefully that might go away or be less loud the more I use it. Highly recommended!
On a side note, skip the multi blade jazz and get a safety razor or a two blade one. I use a Gilette Atra II razor, and I haven't had a better shave since switching to it and a brush.
Customer Review: Good brush
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this item after being "treated" by my family to a more expensive line of "art"-istic shaving gear (their cheapest brush, the one I have, is $55, and you can spend up to $1200). I got hooked on the experience of using a brush after years of foams that left me with razor bumps and irritated skin. The brush isn't the singular answer to this problem, but it helps. I got the "Tweezerman" based pretty much on price, and that is was a badger hair brush (there is a difference between badger hair and synthetic, for sure). I wanted to have a brush I could take with me on trips, and leave the other one at home. This brush is at least as good as the original brush I have. It holds water well and makes great lather. Get this one - can't beat it for the price.Customer Review: You get what you pay for
Summary: 2 Stars
Initially, I was happy with this little brush. It's smaller than I expected, but that actually made it a nice size for travel. The bristles were a little stiff at first, but it lathered up nicely and it seemed to be softening, with each use. Unfortunately, after about a year of light use (it was my travel brush, not my everyday brush), the brush head popped out of the handle. There was no way to re-attach and, eventually, I had to throw it out. I may have been unlucky with my particular brush, but the price did seem too good to be true. My daily use brush (Art of Shaving) was much more expensive and has held up to daily use without any problems.
I would recommend spending more to get a higher quality brush.
Customer Review: An excellent addition to your shaving routine!
Summary: 5 Stars
I made the switch to safety razor shaving, and this brush is now part of my shaving kit. It's a nice size, and really sucks up and retains water and soap. I like how frothy the shaving soap gets when you swish it around with this brush in a mug. When applying it, you can feel your face get warm and stimulated, and your stubble being pushed outwards for a closer shave.
I have noticed a slight musky odor, but it's not strong and will probably fade over time. A few hairs have come off as well, but again I think this is normal at first. The brush has to "get used to" being swirled around in hot water and cream. I set it on its side to dry, but there are stands you can buy to hang it so the brush part drips downward.
