The staple of the Italian barber scene, this brush is cheap, works hard and does a great job of lathering up your sweet cheeks, it is so widely used, I won't be surprised if they are also used in Italian pizza joints to smear the tomato sauce on the base when prepping the meal, come to think of it...the back of a spoon is not the best tool for such a job?! The razor has a chromed 'ABS' handle. So what is ABS ?
ABS or Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene is a common thermoplastic polymer typically used for injection molding applications. This engineering plastic is popular due to its low production cost and the ease with which the material is machined by plastic manufacturers. Better yet, its natural benefits of affordability and machinability do not hinder the ABS material’s desired properties:
- Impact Resistance
- Structural Strength and Stiffness
- Chemical Resistance
- Excellent High and Low Temperature Performance
- Great Electrical Insulation Properties
- Easy to Paint and Glue
This brush has a great boar knot and won't dissapoint, that is for sure! The shiny beast has a handle diameter of 36 mm, handle height of 64 mm, and a loft of 65 mm. The knot is a 28 mm, a great starter brush from a known maker, and my son's go-to brush that has been serving him well througout his 'koshuis dae'.
