Review on πŸͺ’ Vikings Blade 'White Knight' Luxury Shaving Brush: Heavy Steel Base with Faux Ivory Acrylic Bristles by Cathy Young

Revainrating 3 out of 5

If you like wet shaving, you should try this brush.

So the short review is that the shaving brush is incredibly soft, lathers great with shaving soap and is the nicest shaving brush I've ever owned. I recommend it. A more detailed review is that about 10-15 years ago I was gifted a nice wet shaving set from Italy that opened the world of wet shaving to me. The supplied brush was made of high-quality badger fur. I lived with this set for a full ten years until it fell apart due to aging glue. I replaced the brush with a cheap brush made of pure badger fur. It was terrible. Not soft and more importantly it lathered poorly with shaving soap. So fast forward and I see this brush. I was just hoping for something close to the premium Italian shaving set I once had. This brush actually goes far beyond the capabilities of this set. I am 100% sold. The base is heavy, I always use the base that came with a cheap brush and the Vikings Blade brush wobbles a bit in it. Keep in mind that I'm mixing and matching parts here, so I guess that's to be expected. Due to the heavy base, I often find it easier to hang my brush upside down (brush up). But the brushing experience is fantastic. If you like wet shaving, you'll love it.
