Give Yaqi shaving a try. They have some new vegan shaving creams that are on sale at the moment and I have heard good things about it in other circles. Mine is currently at the post office awaiting collection

Being an SR only shaver I have little interest in DE blades. You might like to write your own review on them for others to read.I would include the links to the item you are reviewing so that it can be purchased or looked at by other members. Might assist with people being able to view the item in more detail outside of a review/opinion piece
When there are many vendors offering the same product, I do not include links as that may be seen as favouring a vendor. My preference is for people to choose their own vendor. I do include were they can be found. Not hard to find the sites using DuckDuckGo. For this item, ther can be found on AliExpress, eBay and Amazon.
Correct, a lot of effort does go into a review, and no one has an issue with that or your reviews. A good review will also encourage discussions around the item itself. The points you made in your response to @Razor Burn don't really address his comments though. A review is not going to fix having to get the item replaced due to damage in transit because of poor packaging or spending a few months waiting for an item. Many people have bought from a seller and had items arrive and then when they put in an additional order later, the items never show up or appear 6 months later.
Purchases would experience these problems much less if they could and would read good reviews from people with first-hand experience.
Again it comes back to the vast majority of cheap items are poor performers, with the obvious exceptions being this brush and stuff like Gold Dollars, Titan razors, Yaqi gear etc.
Again the need for good reviews from people with first-hand experience.
Side note: if you want to give some budget gear a crack, I recommend Apache DE blades as excellent DE blades
Have you first-hand experience with the brush being reviewed to justify your "which is almost certainly better" and that this item is not a quality item? If you have, please elaborate on where this brush fails.
Mate, that sounds pretty wanky.
I have 17 brushes varying in price from over $300 to this $2 one. This $2 brush out shines many (not all) of my more expensive brushes - hence the detailed review so others can do further research if interested.
Not really. Just stating what I think should be obvious.
I'm happy you've found a budget brush that works for you. I admit I haven't tried this specific brush but started off with one similar (badger that was actually a synthetic around $5 AUD from ebay) and it lasted less than 6 months before the knot came a part... From memory mine had a darker handle...?!
A direct link to the item you purchased, not one of the various other listings would be better than someone taking your review and trying to find a reputable seller for the same item. When you review something you buy, it isn't just the product, the whole experience from ease of purchase, shipping and item itself is important.

I have many different types of synthetic knots and from different suppliers but looking at the bristles in this picture I will stand by my initial statement. “It looks like a $2 brush” and only time will tell how it will last.
@Tony Forsyth, until you try one, you will never know.Excuse me, but from a brush makers perspective it looks like a $2.00 brush
Have a good weekend gents
Cheers
Tony
Yes, I like it but given the choice between the two and ignoring the looks and price difference, I prefer lathering with the Chinese synthetic more.
Come back when you’ve reached to a thousand, if, the synthetic knot doesn’t fell apart
That will be in about a couple of years. At about USD 2 for the brush, I'm not overly concerned. That's why I bought a few of them.Come back when you’ve reached to a thousand, if, the synthetic knot doesn’t fell apart
