I normally use an Edwin Jagger Best Badger brush when I shave my face at the sink. Never tried it in the shower though... I may look into this.
I was in Walgreens last night and purchased a boars hair shaving brush for $8.
I used it in my shave routine this morning.
Koz, I gotta hand it to ya, it worked wonders!
You DO save on HeadSlick AND you get TONS of lather!
This was my closest, most comfortable shave ever!

Anyone considering using a shaving brush,
DO IT! 
Great suggestion Mike!
Yesterday was the first time I tried the brush with Gillette Series Shave Gel.
Just like buuckkweet, I had my most comfortable shave for the last 2 months.
Big thanks Mike...and I fully agree with buuckkweet if you are considering a
shaving brush do it!! You will love it.

well at least I did.
great thread guys!
i'm gunna try this as well!
Just got a brush at Walmart. Wow! That makes a big difference.
