KENTINF1 Infinity Ultra-Soft Silvertex Bristles Shaving Brush Synthetic Bristles Crimped to Emulate Real Badger Bristle for Ultimate Shave Experience Perfect Lather for Shave Cream and Shaving Soap

This Kent Infinity model (ISS01) Silvertex fiber fully synthetic brush is an outstanding brush in every way. A best buy! Gave me a great shave. This brush is a absolute bargain at 19.99 USD with shipping incl. It makes an excellent choice for a synthetic brush or shaving brush period; If you are looking for a very stiff and rough (exfoliating) brush like boar, or a very large brush (like a very expensive badger, although Kent has those too) then this is not the brush for you. This is an excellent performing brush of moderate size (not the smallest) with decent usable handle, knot and loft size that is quality made by an outstanding company well known for its shaving brushes that just happens to be a bargain to boot most fortunately for us wet shavers. It is much better then the others of (generally) mediocre quality and performance economy brushes in this price range and it is in a class above in quality and performance. Excellent choice for a first brush for a new wet shaver, for an experienced wet shaver who wants a synthetic with the advantages that it entails (hypoallergenic, great feel, dries fast, made/sourced in UK/West, no animals (badgers) killed if that matters to you), or for a travel brush (dries quick). Kent also has other excellent high end badger (BK4 and 8) and travel brushes for which they are reputed and well known. Has fan style shape. Brush tips are very soft. Medium to mild backbone. Wonderful Silvetex fiber designed for latharing. Fibers colored to look like badger and look fine. A well engineered and designed brush. Lathers very well, face, mug or bowl. A certainly adequate and acceptable size to get the job done, not too small. I was worried about that. No observed negatives. You can spend 2-1/2 to 5 times more and not necessarily get a better brush or shaving experience. Probably similar to most of the newer (better technology fiber) modern synthetic brushes now available as the technology like Silvertex has improved with these newer brushes from the initial synthetics from initial synthetic offerings, but I have not compared. Budget priced, but in a class well above and not lacking or compromising in quality or performance. Has Kent lifetime guarantee. Kent, renowned manufacturer of high end shaving brushes and other brush products has a very interesting history with its shaving brushes (see Kent site and elsewhere). Aesthetically attractive with classic looks and performance. Good handle shape and utility. Kent name, logo, reputation and quality. You cannot go wrong with this brush. I would not hesitate to buy this brush again or any other Kent product. From my own measurements (approx.): Loft: 50mm, Fan widest" 45mm, Handle ht: 48-49mm. Handle widest: 34mm; Handle base 31mm. Overall ht: 99mm, A great bargain. and seller! Purchased from Cuffs and Co. Pretty fast ship for Intl. Post UK to US West Coast - arrived much sooner than projected; About ten days - quite reasonable. Excellent condition, well packed. Customs no problem. Note: I am not connected to the seller or manufacturer in any way. Just very pleased with this brush purchase. I think the reviewer who had the bristles fall out must have gotten a lemon or the brush was damaged. Again the bush has a lifetime guarantee from Kent. Note of Caution: Never use shaving oils with any synthetic brush, only soaps and creams. Kent part no. 64619. Other synthetic brushes I did or would consider are Edwin Jagger, Muhle, Plisson, in particular, also the Omega S, Most of the other synthetics I eliminated for one reason or another. I think this brush is an outstanding choice in comparison of all the factors and at such a great bargain price. I don't think it has quite gotten the attention yet that it deserves in the wet shaving reviews and community.

I love Kent brushes, and wanted to replace the five yr old wut a new abd bushier bristle....Not really knowing how to compare sizes or softness, I picked this oneFirst, I love the handle style, and smooth plastic shape, but really wanted a softer and fuller brisles, so I may have to buy another one or different brand........I don't think there arre any specs so will have to do more research from he vendors. Hope this hellps someone else.

Yep. That's me using a natural badger brush. Badger holds the water better. I don't know what to say..... I do have some synthetics but it just feels so natural and nice this brush. Take care of it and it will last so long it is ridiculous.Look, if you have a problem with real badger, Kent makes probably the best synthetic brush in the whole world. I bought one. I think--in my opinion- they, like, made special strands to emulate the barb-like structure that holds the water in real badger. Get a real one if it is just for the sake of comparison. Natural is OK. Only a fair share OK? We are also animals and not of the 'higher order'.Don't worry, nature will come knocking when the bill is due.

Well designed but the quality of the nylon syntactic bristles are bad - they scratch you very rough on the skin as you apply the soap. I prefer the Simpson trafalgar or frank shaving brushes for the price about a million time. I do not recommend.

First use this morning...absolutely delightful experience. I like to characterize the "look, feel & shave quality" (LFSQ) of the brush. Just outstanding and worthy of the "Kent" name and history in my opinion...stands just slightly taller than the Simpson T3 Synthetic Brush (also a first class experience). Simply stated, I wanted a synthetic brush, and notwithstanding a few negative comments, persisted and purchased this Kent Infinity Plus (large) and took a chance because of the name, reputation and history of the Kent organization...am so pleased with my purchase, just as I am with the Simpson T3 Synthetic. The brush splayed quite well (slightly different from the Simpson T3), held an enormous amount of water and lather and together with a firm backbone delivered a fine lathering brush application. By the way, the look and the feel of the brush is superb as well. I did three passes without going back to the soap. It was simply a fine experience. Lastly, please allow me to point out that as an attorney and retired soldier, I am not obliged to write reviews (positive or negative) about any product. I simply call it as I see it.

Maybe the larger size would be better to consider. The brush is okay and surely usable, and the bristles are soft and nice. The problem is, at least in the smaller size, that the brush is not easy to splay. This is when you push a brush down on your face and it's supposed to spread out. A great brush will be firm, but spread out easily in use. The small size I have didn't. When a $10 Omega Pro 49 boar brush is half the price of this synthetic and feels and works better I can't say this is a good buy. I gave it three stars because the bristles themselves are very nice- soft tips and some firmness. If you're vegan this might be a good choice. Also if you use the brush to paint lather on your face, it will work fine. I read that the larger size works better in use.

Good quality brush- could be softer

I really like this brush. For comparison it’s a bit taller than the Simpson T3, the knot has about the same width and it’s slightly stiffer, which I like for lathering pucks or hard shave soaps. The only knock is the brush came damaged with a chipped edge on the base of the handle. The factory packaging was crushed on one side and I checked it but could not locate the chipped off piece, so I have no idea If he damage occurred pre packaging, storage or during shipment. It does not effect the brush so far and hopefully the chipped edge won’t crack with further use. I’d give it 5 stars had the handle not been damaged. For the price I chose not to send it back.

Ottimo qualità molto soddisfatto!

Super rapport qualité prix, je l’utilise depuis 3 mois quotidiennement et rien à signaler

Me afeito de hace años con una brocha Kent de cerda y tenia que sustituir una brocha que tenia en una segunda residencia y opté por esta sintética por precio y para probar.El tacto es muy bueno y suave y el tamaño ya me parece bien.Sio te gusta una brocha grande no es tu brocha.

Have had many Kent Shaving Brushes in the past and have really liked them for quality and comfort of shaving. Regrettably this purchase didn't come up to scratch as the wooden base and the bristles parted company after two weeks. The reason is that a split appeared in the wooden base thus releasing the bristles. A real shame because I love the product generally.

This is a great shaving brush for the money. Kent have always been my go to for brushes and combs so this was an easy choice for me. It’s a really nice brush, just the right density and firmness but soft on the face. As a couple of other reviews agave mentioned, the one flaw of this brush is that the Kent logo print on the handle is smudged all the way around. This is only a tiny issue though and of course it doesn’t affect the function at all. The handle is a good quality plastic, ivory coloured, which feels strong and reasonably weighty. The brush is “silvertex” which is their own synthetic material and feels to be of good quality. It comes with a lifetime warranty which is very reassuring, although in fairness the brush feels like it will last quite some time anyway. My brush came in packaging that was slightly damaged but this is probably just a one off shipping issue. This is a really great option for a good quality shaving brush from a well respected brand and at a very reasonable price.
