Fortitudinem A Leonis Shaving Brush - Softest Brush Fibers Developed Till Date

Reviewing this shaving brush after months of usage, I’ve gotta say, it’s a beauty. The chrome finish on the handle gives it a solid, premium feel without being too heavy, and the brush itself is soft yet firm enough to whip up a rich lather. What I really like is how balanced it feels in the hand, doesn’t slip, doesn’t feel cheap. Visually, it’s a stunner. That two tone bristle finish with the sleek metal handle looks great on the countertop. Honestly, it's got that old school charm with a modern touch. A solid choice if you're into traditional wet shaving but still want something that looks sharp and performs well.

This brush is a bit heavy and it takes 2-3 shaves to get used to it's unusual grip. However, it has always given me a very good experience, caressing the face and whipping up a rich foam. For me this was an affordable luxury and now even after about 9 months of regular use, it feels the same! The hair does not shed and now I have also given up shaving with gels that I had to rub into my face with my fingers to get the lather. I enjoy the vigorous scrubbing of this Brush together with Vicco Sandalwood Shaving Cream. I enjoy how that sensation feels on my face, each morning, especially with using warm water infused with a couple of drops of Dettol Antiseptic Liquid.

I found the brush very good - soft, silky, and created a massive amount of lather. The shave was fabulous with my Viking Blade Crusader (First pass at 4, second pass 3, 3rd pass at 1) - BBS Shave!! However, the handle leaves much to be desired. In attempt to make the brush look snazzy, the functionality of the handle has been compromised. There is a reason why the best brushes in the world have a "bulb" handle - the ergonomics are perfect. The Trigodon Fortitudinem falls short in this department. I would strongly recommend to use the "bulb" type of handle - you can give some of the other well known brushes a run for their money!

I can't stop looking at the brush. I keep walking to it to hold it and admire it. It is really a masterpiece. Beautiful structure. Usagewise the hair is really really super soft. Great weight as well and good balance with weight properly centered so that the hand has to do very little work to generate good yield. The foam forms very quickly as well. Bought it recently will reassess my review after a few months to judge longevity as well. As of now everything is perfect. Truly a beautiful piece.

This is one of the best brush that you can buy. The bristles of the brush is extremely soft. It creates a great lather, I used it with the Trigodon soap bar only

For the first time I'm so impressed with a made in India product. It feels so soft and heavy weight. The package closure is magnetic too. So much attention to detail. The shaving experience with this brush is miles ahead even to that of a genuine boar hair brush! This lathers up really quickly and holds the lather longer too, resulting in less usage of cream/gel. I'm using less than half of the cream I was using earlier. This brush compliments my Edwin Jagger Razer really well. Hats off to the team!

Just purchased it a few days back. Here are the pro's and con's I'm listing:- Pros:- I was kind of excited to use it. The packaging of the product was great. I mean the packaging is really premium. The touch and feel of the product is very sophisticated. Specially the chrome handle which adds a very classy touch to the product in fact the weight distribution is great it's kind of in the heavier side. It was packed in a very beautiful case and had a welcome card which was like a cherry on top of a cake. Cons:- The bristles are great. It's very soft and after keeping it in hot water for maybe 2-5 mins it became extremely soft. But the main problem lies is that the bristles are very delicate. The binding of the bristles are not that great. Just after using it for the first time I saw a few bristles were coming off. Though it feels like a real badger brush yet this was the main drawback of the product. To be honest it's a treat which you can get yourself as it's quite appealing and gives a luxury feel to it but the binding of the bristles is not great at this price point. There are far better brushes out there in terms of bristles out there.

I guess this is the best I have purchased so far. I have tried number of brushes. Produces good lather comparative to the earlier ones. The base is heavy which actually helps and is easy to clean and maintain.
