Bought this online before I knew about all the fakes out there. It's supposed to be one of those special edition 182's. The bristles are soft and I haven't noticed any shedding if that helps.
It's authentic. I just compared the complete writing on your box to mine (purchased mine at the EL Warehouse Sale) & it matches exactly, & my brush also has the exact China stamp on the handle. So, I think you're safe to breath a sigh of relief.
