I have had a Muhle Silvertip Shaving Brush now for quite a number of years - This brush gets used every day and is only now just starting to show signs of wear - My recent purchase was for a replacement brush, so I have it on hand when I finally throw my old one out - I would recommend this product to anyone wanting to buy a quality shaving brush - The service I have had from Mancave, I have to say has been exemplary, a good trustworthy company to deal with
