Problem with boar brushes ?
So I took my first trip to Art of Shaving today and was really fascinated how soft their badger brushes were. I told the worker I was currently using a boar brush and she gave me a terrified look and said "oh no, that's not good" and she went on to explain how badgers are better because their antibacterial properties and other things. During my research when first deciding to get my first brush I never heard anything bad about boar brushes. Is there some truth to this ? Also I really wanted to buy a badger brush because of how soft it felt but figured before spending top dollar on an Art of Shaving brush I would ask all you shaving guru's what are equivalent quality badger brushes for maybe a cheaper price. Also does Shaving oil make any difference if you have a good lather ?
Thank you
