Anbbas Shaving Brush Set for Men 3in1 Vegan Style Synthetic Badger Hair Shaving Brushes, Stainless Steel Shaving Stand + Bowl Perfect for Wet Close Shave | Synthetic Badger,Good Water Absorption Skin Friendly Foam No Shedding Morning Personal Care Easy to Clean Space Saving

After many years as a disposable cartridge razor and shaving gel guy, I've made the switch to a double edge (DE) razor. Rather than buying an all-inclusive kit, I opted for this smaller set, a Merkur 34C, box of Astra Platinum blades, some Proraso shaving soap, and a Gentleman Jon alum block. I'm pleased to report that I am very happy with all components of my introductory set.The bowl and stand are sturdy and being stainless steel, are very easy to clean. I used alcohol pads before the initial use and a quick rinse in the sink and felt it did the trick. The stand itself was a bit tight to begin with and I had to bend it at the legs to ensure a proper fit for the brush. The brush seems to be of good quality and does have a natural odor to it rather than something chemical or synthetic, which is good. While I do not have direct experience with the different qualities of badger hair used for brushes, I know that this is entry-level. While "best," "super," and "silver tip" are increasingly better than this "pure" brush, I also know there are a lot of silver tip brushes that are dyed in order to demand a higher asking price. That aside, I am fine with what I have for now.With the Proraso soap, it didn't take much effort to create a nice lather. Frankly, I didn't use the bowl because I dipped the brush in the soap and applied directly to my face. However, with other bar soaps, I could see how the bowl would come in quite handy. Lastly, the box this set arrived in does make it giftable. If I had received this item as one, I would have been quite happy as it presents well and the pieces perform well.Overall, I am still very new to DE shaving, but am glad to have some kit that makes me feel like I am doing this properly. Much like making coffee in a French press, preparing loose vs. bagged tea, or listening to music on vinyl instead of streaming it, there is great value and enjoyment in the ritual of shaving this way. Assuming I will become even more comfortable with the process over time, I can see myself upgrading the brush I use. For now, this is a great start.

I have no complaints. This is very durable, very soft, and the quality seems great for the price you are paying for. This is very smooth on my skin and it is of decent size as well.

Treat yourself to a nice shave. Great product.

Brush is great, bowl is too small; makes a mess when lathering up soap.

Others have said that the bowl was too small, but it fits the cakes that I use perfectly. I have been using this for several weeks now. I took it on a trip and it was nice to have on the counter. I bought a badger-hair brush at the same time to use in a separate bathroom. I find that this brush works just as well.

Good quality synthetic

A very good product for the money!!!!

Good little starter stand won’t last long maybe a year tops but will do for a starter. Will not make a large lather brush is ok but for 10 bucks what do you expect. If you trying out shaving this will do and if you don’t like shaving you only 10 dollars. There is no fragrance and the material will it hold scented soaps. The brush is soft but will not last long. Cleaning is a breeze but with repeated use the coating in the bowel will come off eventually. Value for money like said it’s a starter set not your permanent set.

I picked up the Anbbas Synthetic Badger Hair Shaving Brush with Stand Holder and Stainless Steel Shave Bowl Mug to upgrade my daily shave, and overall I’m pretty happy with it. The synthetic bristles whip up a rich lather in the stainless steel bowl without any fuss, and the best part is I don’t have to get my hands covered in shaving cream every time — big win in my book.The brush feels comfortable and doesn’t shed, the bowl is a nice sturdy size, and the stand keeps everything organized and draining properly. If you’re tired of messy hands and want a classic-style shaving setup that actually makes lathering easier, this is a solid choice.

Next level of shaving experience. In combination with a good soap my hard and stubborn beard don`t stand a chance. In your face Gillette :)

Was a present for my son. He described it as awesome!

Good brush, very soft

Lovely soft brush and nice looking set, like the fact can hang the brush to dry.
