It's great. This is the second one of these I've purchased from AP, I bought the second one preemptively so my kid will never have to endure shaving-life without one when that downy, preteen 'stache inevitably arrives.
I'm not an internet shaving enthusiast (but I respect those who are) I was just looking to buy a quality knot/handle setup that also happened to be from a local business. This is important as I rub it on my face a lot. If you're like me, migrating from resenting shaving due to the gear you get from the pharmacy, succumbed to those Henson Shaving ads, and are suddenly leveling-up your shaving kit, this rando says it's 1000% than whatever you have now. It's great at building up a lather, comfortable and effective at blobbing soap onto my face, allowing itself to be rinsed clean, and at drying quickly. This is completely different from my experience with a cheap brush from Amazon I still regret.
