The Vie-Long 12603 Brown Horse Hair Shaving brush is a great looking brush with classic styling. It features an injected plastic handle, with a deep red coloured barrel. The handle carries the Vie-Long branding badge and holds the Brown Horse Hair loft. A beautiful looking brush, packaged in a box complete with hanger. Hand Made in Spain.
The brush bristles should be wet (not soaking) before use. Load the loft with soap or cream and apply to the areas to be shaved, using a strong circular motion. This softens the hairs and also raises them ready for shaving.
We strongly recommend the following aftercare for your brush; When finished always rinse the brush under hot water (especially at the base of the bristles) to remove any remaining soap residue which can result in damage to the bristle and cause early shedding of the loft. The brush should then be stored loft facing down to dry. This can be achieved by using a shaving brush stand and prevents the bristles rotting at the base due to moisture.
Both shaving creams and shaving soaps and all skin types.
Whilst taking a shower soak your shaving brush in hot water. When you are finished your shower, both your stubble and brush will be ready for a shave!

This brush feels very soft to me, almost as soft as badger. It smells a little at the start, but after a couple of uses the wet animal smell has gone.
I am very pleased with this purchase, and worth double the price.

This was one of two brushes I first got (the other being a synthetic omega brush) and I found the brush to be excellent. It's scrubby without being scratchy, it's compact but not too tiny, and the look is beautiful. Whilet there is a smell (once wet) it's quite mild and the use of soaps will make the scent even milder (and I'm someone who gags at a wet dog). This is an excellent brush (that requires proper care by combing) and for the price , you can't go wrong.
