Thread: What was your first shaving brush...

Mine was a Men-U Premium Synthetic, which moulted enough for me to purchase another one.

... which also moulted badly.

Art of shaving badger. Have no idea on size or details.

It was a no-name silvertip badger, bought on sale from an Internet-based shaving store. It had zero backbone, and I finally had to wrap a 1/4" cable tie around it... my "pornstar" shaving brush

my first brush was and still is boar. I still use the one I started with . My dad and I shared the brush and later went to the can foam. then I started back with the brush.

My first brush was a VDH, then afterwards my next brush was a Tweezerman.

Brush number one was an Eveready 150 bought along with my first straight as a youngster in 1975. My dad thought I was nuts since he had "moved up" to Mr. Schick's Monstrosity but I stuck with it. That was my only brush for several years and remained in rotation for about thirty years. Then one winter I left it at the lake house and some sort of critter ate the bristles! In my disgust, I threw it away. In retrospect I wish I'd saved the handle. I could put a nice super silvertip two band in it today and have the softness of badger and the backbone of the boar along with the nostalgia of that first brush.

Mine was a VDH Boar, the Second a VDH Badger - I don't use either anymore, I make my own

My first brush was a VDH green handle boar, took a bit to break in. I now use a 24mm silver tip bought from SRD. I love it!

I occasionally used my dad's boar, a cheap Omega. I consider that my first brush, s I ended up using it regularly. Then I went can, because De Vergulde Hand shaving soap.
