Nathan went above and beyond I.M.O. on these carbon fiber layed brushes. I got a one off from his website but there are other variants at West Coast Shaving
I love the handle on those but I cant see paying $150 for a synthetic.
Im sure that mostly what youre paying for is the exclusivity of it. Im sure that Envy doesnt make thousands and thousands of those brushes. It really is a beautiful handle though.+1! For that price I would have another badger, but YMMV! (Love the handle!! )
