I have the Satin Tip in black, and really like it. Great feel to the handle and the brush does a good job. It isn't as soft or luxurious as my Silvertip badger brush, but it make an excellent travel brush given its light weight and fast drying. Definitely recommended and a steal at the $15 price tag.
where are you guys buying the brushes from?

I picked up a white one and a black one.

Too bad their site considers shipping to Canada like if it was New Zealand....$25 for shipping. US vendors normally charge around $10 max. Not paying $40. Shipping is almost twice the price of the brush. I'd buy one. too bad.

Try shipping to Europe it is even worse... 40 bucks for shipping... I can get US guitars shipped cheaper and I know for a fact that USPS charges 12-15 bucks for a package that small to Europe...
Just got both my brushes today....initial thoughts. WOW, its a great little brush for 15$
Packaging-better than brushes that I have paid 4 times that amount for
Size- on the small end, but I don't like a big brush. It's the perfect size IMO. It is smaller than the Fine brush I think.
Feel- Just as soft as the Fine, but I have a hard time with feel. If it isn't a boar brush I can't really tell, my face is the death valley of shaving .
Value-The price point is ridiculous on this item.
I can't wait to try it out.

I bought the brush from whatever site had them listed for the cheapest that I found first.
