VALENTINO GAREMIValentino Garemi Shoe Polishing Brush Set - Extra Large 8 Inches Long Luxury Shining Brushes - Genuine Horsehair bristles Manufactured in Germany

My father would be so proud ! He always took such good care of our shoes. He tough my brother and I to care for all our leather goods. He had a very nice shoe brush in his polishing kit that his father had given to him. With this product, Im carry on his legacy in always keeping my shoes looking nice and clean. The brush is very good quality with nice bristles that stay put and don't fall out. It puts a very gentle sheen to anything you use it on. The handle is contoured and comfortable to use. You might find a more expensive brush, but you won't find a better made one.

I would like to start this review by dispelling some confusion: One criticism I saw about this product is that the bristles liked to fall out. I did notice that the bristles on the dark brush tended to fall out more than the light brush; however, natural animal hair brushes ALWAYS shed. I haven't heard of a brush that uses animal hair and does not shed at all. May these brushes be on the cheaper side of things? Hard to say, when the same company produces other brushes that are also sold here on Amazon and I haven't personally tested them, either.When I was looking to get good horsehair shoeshine brushes, I came across this and thought it was too good to be true. I found that other high-quality shoeshine brushes started around $20-30 for a single brush. After purchasing these brushes and getting to use them, they are definitely high quality. The longer 8" handle is easier to grip than smaller (7" or less) brushes (especially with my longer fingers), the longer bristles help keep me away from the shoe and scuffing it on accident, and the benefit of having two brushes, especially with two different-colored bristles, is that black/darker polishes remain with one brush and lighter polishes with the other. This was hard to pass up, and I'm glad I went through with it. I do plan on coming back and updating this review after polishing my shoes a few more times.

Review for "Valentino Garemi Shoe Polishing Brush Set - Extra Large 8 Inches Long Luxury Shining Brushes" Both Brushes were as described and of very nice quality, I was looking for a larger brush for my boots that had soft bristles and this fit the bill. The wood surface had a nice quality finish. Both brushes had an ample bristle length of somewhere of about 1 1/2 - 2 inches and apply polish and conditioner nicely. I would buy again and recommend. Happy with this good purchase.

These are beautiful horsehair brushes! They are large. Long, wide and densely bristled they are comfortable to hold and a pleasure to use. I'm looking forward to many uses.

The taller bristles, and the 8" length, keeps the wood block away from the shoes surface.Above average bristle density is very good at removing Saphir cream polish.I can buff faster and stronger without worry of banging the wood block into the shoe surface.Well worth the cost.

I did the comparison so you don’t have to:These 2 large brushes vs the VALENTINO GAREMI Shoe Care Brush Set - 2 Polishing Brushes, Cloth, 2 Applicators Brush - Genuine Horse Hair - Footwear Shine, Polish, Buff and Clean - Made in Germany set. (For brevity I’ll say full size brushes vs brush set)I bought this twin pack of the full size brushes. It arrived with not only their product boxes sliced open but also literally falling apart. The product boxes had even been taped together in the middle of the boxes. Somehow even the Amazon Inspected sticker was sliced that was on the first clear bag. Then it was placed in another clear bag, and then finally the Amazon shipping bag. The wooden portion had some dents/dings but it said it was previously used so I didn’t think much of that. However, I could tell that someone had used the tab brush as I could feel a substance on the tan bristles.The bristles are longer than the bristles in the brush set and feel slightly softer, however they SHED A TON! The Dark brush sheds more than the tan brush but still both lose a ton of bristles just when I brushed it against my palm for 30 seconds. I’d hate to think of how many more they’d lose when brushed against a hard surface like a boot.Recommend the Valentino Garemi brush set (it’s also sold on Amazon). Neither of the 2 round applicator brushes lost any bristles. The medium tan brush only lost like 3, the medium dark brush lost a couple more but again still not even 1/5 of what the larger version did.I’ll post my review of the set on its page along with pics.

Well made, generous size.

Received the brushes in good condition, packaged well and in individual boxes.The problem, when buffing shoes with them they do an excellent job but there is always fifty brush hairs or more laying on my table after use.Advertised as a German company committed to a quality product. Didn't expect brush hair loss every time I use them.Will this stop after more use I don't know that's why I gave it three stars.As far as the polishing goes I would give it five stars but losing brush hairs all the time shouldn't happen.

Theyre so good i want to buy more even though i dont need them.

this something that you keep for a life-time so it is nice that it is quality material from Germany

If you like your shoes, these brushes are a "MUST HAVE" for their quality at a decent price.

After reading the reviews I had high hopes for this product.Massive amounts of hair fell out immediately.Total waste of money.

Good quality, large 100% horsehair shoe brushes. The extra size allows for a very good polish of my Frye leather boots. Highly recommend this product.
