First off When I got my stirling package in the mail, I found a thank you note and free samples, it made my day, not many companies do that and it’s a nice touch, I will definitely be a future customer and stirling makes great brushes too.
I looked at the other synthetic options and they were on sale because they had less wavy hair in them but this one didint. The replicant didint look quite as flashy as the other ones but I still like the ivory color. Anyways the pictures don’t do it justice and this brush is an absolute workhorse I’m happy I ended up with it. The brush seemed a little bigger than I would’ve thought when I got it, but it’s just perfect in the hand, very comfortable handle, a nice dense knot, and splays easily on your face. when I say good backbone don’t underestimate it just because I didint say great, it’s not a floppy brush, it is definitely sturdy. For 19 bucks and your looking at this site for a brush just buy it
