Simpson Commodore X1 Best Badger Shaving Brush, 19mm

The Commodore X1 is a small brush that punches well above its weight. It's compact enough to be a great travel brush, but definitely not too small for everyday use. I really like the fact that it can be used to apply lather so precisely. I have not observed any shedding other than 2-3 hairs the first time I used it. Five stars - I'm very happy with this brush. Thanks Maggard's!

I bought this brush at the end of May 2014, and I have been using it for about 6 months now. It lathers very well, and it has a comfortable handle. It is also easy to place the lather precisely on your face. The only negative aspect of the brush is continuous shedding of badger hair well beyond the "break in" period. Every shave the brush loses about 3-4 hairs which wind up in the shaving bowl or on the safety razor. If it did not shed badger hair regularly, the rating would be 5 stars.
