Wet Shaving Brushes...preferences, opinions, personal choices?
Sir Harry:
Prior to winning the Shaving kit in Mike Koz's Scotty's Ride Contest, I was using a brush that came free with the purchase of Bump Patrol (at WalMart). The badger brush in this kit blows that brush away. Great lather....The key to making any brush last longer is to rinse it thoroughly and hang it upside down. A DE razor stand, bought or homemade should help with that.
djones:
I have a cheap van der Hagen that served the purpose until I got a better brush.I also have a Casswell Massey badger brush that I was gifted after someone seen my shave set on the sink.. It does shed a little but makes a great lather..
Chaps:
I have been wet shaving since 2006 and my favorite brush is a Savile Row SR 204 badger for which I think I paid $50. My first brush was an Omega boar that I bought at Target for less than $10.
digitaldome:
I have owned quite a few brushes and some of my favorites are:
For face lathering...the Semogue 1305. Great backbone for lathering those hard to lather soaps.
For bowl lathering...An inexpensive Whipped Dog 24mm SilverTip with a 50mm loft, coupled with a firehouse handle.
Fondlheine:
I gave my vdh boar brushes to new wet shavers I work with.
I have a few Simpsons and a couple of brushes I got in AOS kits that are working fine for me.
I plan to add to the brush collection eventually, but I just haven't settled on what I want to try next...
