Vikbar rese Pure Badger rakkvast

First trip with it and the pure badger bristle is genuinely soft on the face—no scratchiness like I’ve had with cheaper synthetics. The whole thing packs down into its own handle case, which feels solid and saves real space in my dopp kit.

Finally got around to using it on a week-long trip and the pure badger bristle held up great, staying soft and firm even after drying in the case each night. The turnback design is a clever bit of engineering for packing, and the handmade feel comes through in the handle's weight.

The twist-back case locks so securely I forgot it wasn't a solid handle until I opened it for the morning lather. Bristles feel dense but not scratchy on the face, and the whole thing dried out fully by the time I packed it up for the next flight.
