    The boar brings you more quality of latherability for your money, but silvertip badger have the best feeling in your face. I have both, and I use both, I get great lather with both kinds of hair. My advice is a Semogue 1305, a great boar hair allrounder and, later, if you want , a decent (not expensive) silvertip in 22-24 mm to feel the softest brush in your face.

    "To sum up, I like my brushes like I like my women. They need to perform, but low maintenance is really really nice." Jimbo - you be THE MAN!!! Seriously, a boar brush, for me, is well worth the use. The badgers are good, no doubt, but the real issue is how easy it makes lather.

    Sorry always abbreviating. Place a "100" in front of the nos. I gave.
    More choices here OMEGA, shaving brushes, bristle shaving brush

    Thanks everyone for all the insightful suggestions. I think I am going to start with an Omega Boar bristle and then move to badger as I get my technique and everything established.

    I've got a Silvertip from Whipped Dog with $24 shipping to EU included. It works great but it doesn't lather as well with some soaps as a cheap Vulfix bristle, for example. Each type of brush works well with some types of soap, but it's not a general rule that a good brush works best with ANY soap. For example, I'm using Nanny's Silly Company soaps, which lather extremely well with Vulfix, but with the Silvertip they do a poor lather job. They're soft soaps, more like creams.
