After I received my first brush for my shoes, I turned right around and ordered a second after my first use.  This is a great brush, at a great price.  Hadn't seen such a brush since I held a genuine fuller brush made in Israel in my hands when I was a kid.  Put the first one to use caring for our leather shoes, and the second one to use as a final brush on the dogs.  Great brush, if you can respect it, it will serve you.
