    Default L'Occitane Shave Brush

    I see this is on sale, is it worth it?

    Looks like a boar brush or a synthetic brush. If you want a good brush and have no personal objections to badger hair, save your money for a badger brush and skip this one.

    I have a few badger brushes inducing the amazing B&B LE 2008, i was thinking of adding it for a travel brush.
    Thanks, and Happy New Year

    I'm interested in this brush as a travel brush as well, so would like comments from anyone who has used it.

    The brush looked very small in the store. Haven't actually used one though.

    I have one. The head is pretty small and not very soft but it's made beautifully. For a travel brush, you would probably be better off with a Body Shop $11 brush and a plastic tube.

    For me, it's just damn cool looking, synthetic and shiny so I had to have it.
