First impressions

This brush was really nice looking and in general it appeared like it was well made and would be a good brush.

Overview of performance

This brush was better at giving a finishing polish than it was at general cleaning. It was comfortable to hold as the handle was quite loose. It lasted well, was fairly easy to clean and dried quickly after washing.

Lisa’s likes and dislikes

I liked how smart it looked. I would use again but I prefer brushes with a leather back over wood.
