With all the chat about the new generation of sythetic brushes I thought I'll try one again. Had the Men 'U' brush some time agao and didn't really like it that much. Anyhow as I'm off on a few days travel this week I checked the reviews section and thought "what the heck" so off I went to the local shopping mall straight into the Body Shop. Purchased one of their cheap synths (for travel). Got it home and had a shower 'n' shave with it. I used a three day old shark SS in my 69 super adjustable, Tabac stick and this new brush. Result a good clean shave with one small nic and no irritation. The brush dried in a few short minutes. In my view for £6 a decent enough brush, and definatley one for travel in the UK.
