I’ve been using this brush for several days now, and I am genuinely delighted with it. Coming from a Yaqi with a Twist handle, the difference is night and day.
First, the G5C knot is on another level entirely—the tips are exceptionally soft on the face with zero scratchiness, making face-lathering a pure pleasure. It also holds water differently than my previous brushes, so it took me a couple of shaves to dial in the exact moisture level, but once you find the sweet spot, it whips up a rich, dense lather effortlessly.
As for the handle, I was initially unsure about it compared to my previous ergonomic grip, but I have adapted to it very quickly and now find it completely comfortable. Compared to my old brush, the improvement in comfort, softness, and overall shaving experience is huge. Highly recommended!
