Title: which Shaving Brush???
Post by: Timmay on May 12, 2009, 12:46:39 PM

I have been reading up on shaving brushes.  I am starting to get a little interested in it.  What I want to know is , what is your prefered type of brush?  There are a few different types.  Which is better, the boar brush, the badger brush or nylon.  Which would be the best?

I've got a 15 dollar badger hair brush from amazon. http://www.amazon.com/Tweezerman-2801-h-Mens-Shaving-Brush/dp/B000G647Y8/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&s=hpc&qid=1242154235&sr=8-9

I got a $5 badger brush as a stocking stuffer for Christmas and it works great. Standard Walmart model.

If you did find a wild hair brush, where would you put it?  >:D

There are literally hundreds of brushes ranging from about $5 to possibly over $500.  The super high end brushes are usually silver-tipped badger hair.  The high priced ones indicate a high density of hair.  You can buy an excellent quality brush that will serve you for years in the $50 to $80 range.

I use a natural fibre bristle brush, as its more environmentally friendly.

I've got the $5 one from Wal-Mart it works fine... but I don't have anything to compare it to.

This guy has a great channel going, I learned a lot from his videos. Though it is face shaving, his tips work just as well for the noggin.
