Are you sure this is a boar brush?? I have the same looking one, and it's a wild stallion. I was planning to paint the walls of my kitchen with it.
That's definitely a big one. I can't help but notice the L under the Shaving Factory logo and wonder...do they make an XL?
This brush is a large brush, and yes, Shaving Factory does make an XL (it is about 1/2" taller). It was made for those of us in the barber industry. Turkish barbers like to use big brushes like this one on their customers. This brush takes a lot of soap/cream, and many times the lather gets lost inside of it. It does do a good job of applying lather, even being so large. I use mine on occassion at home, and it has nice, soft tips, and isn't floppy at all (the bristles are nice and springy). One of its negative aspects, is that the bristles splay out way too wide, getting lather everywhere... but it does cover your face in lather very quickly.
I've bought mine from bestshave. It takes only a couple of swings to paint your face with lather from one ear to the other with it. If you make a third swing, you'll get lather in your nostrils. 
It's definitely made to supply lather for a whole platoon at once. Also it makes lather in seconds. Hair is good IMO, it feels great on the face and is not moppy, just splays a LOT. In the end, there's a lot of horse in it.

I am looking for a big boar brush and I bowl lather, would you recommend medium or the large?
That is a seriously large brush! Looks like they rounded up the whole herd in that thing ...
Bucket lathering anyone?
Mine is a very good quality HORSE brush. I bought it from bestshave when #6 and #7 were out of stock in the end of last year without knowing what I was buying. It makes lather from cream in a bowl in less than 20 seconds but unfortunately it's made for Incredible Hulk's face.
gaviavaz, where did you get this brush? what's the knot size and loft? Thanks.
I shaw them once some time ago here : http://www.shavingworld.com/brand/13/shaving-factory.aspx By the way those brushes are boars and not horse bristle, as Gentlemen said in a previous post.
Here is a big boar brush........

No way you made that, Rudy. That's gotta be a tiny golf ball...
I have one of the shaving factory large brushes that is used for bowl lathering and its great,bought it of the bay for about £8.00 delivered and i have been
useing it for about a year and its not lost a hair. I am not sure if its horse or boar but it sure is a nice brush, and worth the money.
Just my 2p
