After much research on which new brush I should buy as my second brush I finally pulled the trigger today. My intention was to buy only one, well I could not decide so I ended up with three. First I purchased an Omega 80005 because of the general consensus that it is one of the best for the money. Second I bought the Omega 11047 as I really like my pure badger but it seems to have not enough backbone to get a good lather from my solid soap. Lastly I bought the Semogue 1460 as I have been a face latherer up to this point. First I was wondering what you all thought about my choices. Second now that I have all of these I wanted to make sure that I used each in its most effective manner, so any advice would be great. On top of using each I also wanted to try all three to better find which type of brush works best for me.
