A lot of things in life are like this.

Shaving brush on the left is fancy, an impressive size with real badger hair, polished handle, and cost a fair bit. The one on the right arrived a few days ago, small using ordinary pig bristle with a plain wooden handle, only cost a couple of dollars from here.
The cheap one is also nicer to use, much of life is like this and it's one of life's lessons that paying more doesn't always mean better.
I'm now shaving again after many years of avoiding the chore, but doing it using old fashioned cream and a shaving brush is much nicer than the painful efforts I put in when I was younger. Despite the fancy looks I don't think anything in a spray can is worth the bother.
