Well, the Vulfix 660s is quite nice, and this one shows all the hallmarks of being quite nice as well. I may do a trade w/ one of my older brushes that's a bit too dense for my tastes, too. So hopefully my brush accumulating ways will stop for a few months at least.

I lathered it up 5 times during the day today, and used it to shave tonight. It was quite nice already. I look forward to seeing how much better it gets.

Now that I've had it for a couple of days, I have played w/ it enough to have some initial thoughts.
The handle is excellent. The finish is beautiful, the burned-in logo is crisp and beautiful. The handle shape is very similar to my 1305, which means it's very easy to hold on to, and comfortable in the hand.
I'm most impressed by, and surprised by the knot.
First of all, the color. The tips aren't as white as I expected based on some pictures, and other Finest brushes I've seen. This isn't a bad thing, just a fact. There are also completely brown bristles interspersed through the brush. They appear to be a bit stiffer than the rest.
Second, the softness. The tips on this brush are very soft. It's a dense, short kind of softness, like a really nice velvet. The backbone is very firm, making for a brush with major presence on the face, but excellent tips for mixing lather so there's no need to mash it against your face and aggravate the skin.
We're still getting to know each other, but I think this is the beginning of an amazing friendship.
