Thread: What Brush Should I Get

I was wondering if I can get all of your opinions on what badger brush I can get as a gift for my dad and one for myself, that is good (you experts would recommended from experience with it) and no more then 40 bucks (I guess that's what I would spend on each one). I am buying my dad a de and getting him all the things he needs for wet shaving, I have a cheap badger and boar brush and want to get him something nicer.

I think that there are a lot of companies that can fit that bill. Just a quick look at Straight Razor Designs showed Omega brushes at a low start price. I think the Omegas are a good brush for the money. When you get to a spot where you want an amazing brush and want to spend a little more there are some amazing brush makers on this forum.

I think your best bang for the buck for a good badger is a Whipped Dog Silvertip. They are $30-$35 delivered. I used mine this morning. I have had this one for about a year and a half now. It is 24mmx48mm.

I would go for direct Chinese import. I have a Frank's Shaving Brush which is truly fantastic and on par with the best of my brushes.

Thank you for the tips. I will look into everything you guys suggested.

+1 on above, Also ask yourself how much scratch or scritch on the face do you like. Pure Badger gives more scratch and least expensive, (personally I prefer more scritch) Best, Super and Silvertip progressively get softer tips.
Denis What Brush, Soap, Razor or Blade is good for one man may not be good for another.
