    One of the Omega boar Professional series brushes 48, 49 or 98. should run less than $20 delivered to your front door.
    As an experienced user I like these & think they would also be a very good starting point with no great financial loss should another preference develop later.
    I am just another beginner like the OP but that sounds like some good advise. I think I should order one of those.
    FYI. Giving model numbers of low cost brushes that an experienced user recommends really helps alot.

    Edit: do you have better model numbers than 48 49 98 I could not find those on amazon.com all the model numbers are about 6 digits and several end in 48

    Sorry always abbreviating. Place a "100" in front of the nos. I gave.
    More choices here OMEGA, shaving brushes, bristle shaving brush
    The white gleam of swords, not the black ink of books, clears doubts and uncertainties and bleak outlooks.

    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.
