So as my birthday continues to creep forward and as my wife is curious what to get me, I have decided on getting a new brush. Being that I have used the same van der hagen brush for the past year when I first started wet shaving.

I've been having my eye on the semoque 2030 brush as it fits my price range (50 including shipping) and has a long handle which interests me.

My question is that in researching brushes Im not sure if I'll like a brush with a large loft. I almost always build my lather in a bowl and my VDH brush is so dead it's hard to imagine using a nice brush. So what can one expect with a high loft brush and is their any other brushes I should be looking at?


Cheers.
