    My only experience has been with the travel brushes. Specifically the synthetic blend travel brushes, if natural hair is your thing I can’t speak on their quality there.

    I can’t imagine a better travel brush for the price, they hold a good quantity of water and the tip has held up to more scrubbing than I am comfortable admitting. The weight and quality feels right, and it’s held up to frequent pocket+hikes and other plein aire abuses.

    No problems with the product or shipping so I’m not sure how their customer service is.

    I’ve bought 3 brushes at this point, all travel. I keep meaning to try their other stuff but when I’ve got money I end up finding a pocket brush I’d rather get. Hehe.

      I couldn’t help it because shipping is free right now because I happen to be in Europe at the moment.

      So I bit the bullet and purchased my Escoda travel brushes that I’ve been desiring for some time. I’m waiting for them to be made and delivered.

      What my hope is is that I won’t be 1000% happy with them and so that will allow justification to now purchase some rosemary ones as well.

      I decided it’s time to spoil myself and finally get some good brushes.

        Nice, I’ve never used their brushes. Interested in your thoughts after you dig in.

        I’ve not found a natural brush who’s performance justified the cost.

      And every time I try natural hair brushes I just don’t like them. I much prefer synthetics. I don’t know if that’s a microplastic problem or if it helps save animals. Either way, it’s what it is.
