Thread: Badger Hair brush

Hello All,

I am going to order one very soon. It has only taken two months for me to realize that wet shaving with a good soap/cream, brush, and bowl is my preference. I am using a DE razor now while in training, but can see with my past history that I will get to straight razor when I feel I have the experience. Looking at a simpsom case badger hair. I will use this brush frequently and would like anyone's feed back on longevity, care, other options.

Thank You

A premium badger brush will last a lifetime. Even my cheapo vulfix is looking like it will last a life time. The simpsons brushes are premium and among the top brush makers. What is your price range?

Simpson brushes are very nice indeed. For Good entry priced brushes look at the Commodore or colonel

My entry price is $50.00 USD. I see a few different types in that range. If it lasts for a while I may adjust my spending limit, but I need to learn proper care and storage. I should not buy an airplane when a bicycle will work for now. I do like quality.

I don't squeeze my brushes out of fear of damaging the hair.

However, I do give each brush several vicious shakes over the tub and then lightly "dust" the tip on a towel then hang hair down to dry.

Same here except for the dusting on the towel.
