$50 budget for new brush. what do you pick

I would say split your budget and get an omega boar 48,49 or big pro and a vie long professional horse hair.

Ok so I am looking heavy at the semogue 1800 boar brush. Wasn't considering horse or synthetic hair but if in the budget its worth a try.

Here's a nice looking Horse hair one, and it's available in badger or horse and badger, but no boar strangely....
I'm a fan of the handle, not of horse or anything mixed but it falls within your range.

I stopped by at the Body Shop and noticed they sell synthetic brushes the brush feels some what soft has anyone tried this type of brush from the Body Shop brushes or any other synthetic shaving brushes out there?

Any decisions made ?

Well I actually had a semogue in the cart ready to check out last night. Then remembered I have a house payment to pay first LOL. I am going to get the semogue 1800 an also one other that I haven't decided on yet. After doing the adult thing an paying the bills I am going to grab a few for sure. :rock:

I have an omega synthetic I like it a lot BUT I have found the bristles comes out when using on my face. Now with that being said it may be MY brush that is just doing it. But it whips up nice cream and willbbe good enough till I get my badger
