I have another brush omega pure babger "model 666" that pain in mi face and does not retain water... Men-ü is very smooth and makes lather on the face very easily. Its price is very high "30 sterling pounds" and buy just because I was very cheap. I'm very happy with it.

Thanks for the quick review but tell us more about the brush. Is it floppy or does it have backbone, what kind of handle does it have and what size do you have? Does it give your face a facial and what are the bristles made of, is it like nylon or some other synthetic? Do you prefer it to natural bristles or badger?

Is medium

what kind of handle does it have and what size do you have?

Material handle is Plastic. Size handle is: leng 50 mm, wide 37mm. Total leng is 100.5 mm.


Does it give your face a facial and what are the bristles made of, is it like nylon or some other synthetic?

Massage your face but does no pain "my skin is sensitive." You can lathering face perfectly. The feeling is different but not unpleasant. It does not seem nylon or anything you've tried.

Do you prefer it to natural bristles or badger?

Compared with omega pure badger my men-u synthetic is very superior . I can not compare with a silvertip badger because I have not tried. Omega badger perhaps it is poor quality. Prefer a synthetic

The only problem with this brush in my opinion is its price

Sorry for mi bad english

Hi i stock these brushes in my barbers shop and they cost me £21.00 with a facial kit so you have got a good bargain i realy struggle to sell them because of the retail price . I do like the brush my self and your right they deffanatly create a great lather. I have to say i have two silver tiped badgers brushes a taylors and edwin jager and i do prefer them because of the feel and size but apart from that i still use the men-u brush in my rotation.

Somebody else here had an ad and a link for these brushes. I bought 2 of them off of ebay via the link. This is currently my favorite brush. I also have a badger hair and boar's hair brush. This brush works up a very nice lather and is as soft as my badger.

The price was nice also. They came from England and were 1/2 the cost of what I have seen them here in the states.

I've seen them on E Bay. Funnily enough, coming from Spain.

You have to be careful, they make two brushes.

One is OK but a low price and one is very good at the higher price.

This review is talking about the higher priced product that has recently appeared, heavily discounted. I think they are made in Italy.

I think that if you don't agree with the use of badger, this is the way to go.

My only concern is that because it is synthetic and I suppose a form of plastic/nylon bristle I wonder if eventually it will loose its qualities. Like a tired tooth brush or kitchen brush. You know what I mean.

It would be good to hear from somebody who has had one for a few years, to know if it deteriorates over time.

I had one of these as a travelling brush.
This is what ifound when using it. If I just wet it briefly before making a lather it was quite stiff compared to what I am used to so if gave quite a feeling of scubbing when building the lather ( I usually build up a lather on my face) . If i let it soak in the sink ao hot water it softened up considerably& it then behaved like my Badger Varilux brush that I have been using on a daily basis for the last Ten Years. So In my own limited use of this I would say that it can behave like two distinctly different brushes. I passed my example on to my stepson& got my self a small travelling badger brush & I have to say that I am seriously considering going back to the Syinthetic brush for travelling use as It can be softened up to a softness that I personally prefer .
All in all I would recomend these brushes to everyone as with practice you can find out what your personal preference in a brush is before you commit to the cost af a Badger brush. also they are very easy to look after. I hope this is of help Paul

I don't think they are as soft as silvertip badgers brush and i have found with use they do loose their softness.
