Thread: Considering WSP Monarch. Thoughts?

I came to an epiphany with yesterday mornings shave. The Best Badger (doesn't look like best badger hair) brush from K-Mart that I've been using for almost a year, isn't doing too good of a job lately. I constantly need to mash the brush against my face to squeeze the lather out, and from time to time, by my third pass, I need to reload my brush a bit to finish up. After a bit of reading, I am thinking I would like a dense, more firm brush. I believe I would like to feel a bit more of the brush on my face, so a fan would be preferable to a bulb tip. The WSP Monarch is advertized as a High Density Premium Silvertip Badger Brush" It's not fan shaped, but I think I can live with that. The price on Amazon right now is $69. Is there someone here that has some experience with this brush, and would this brush be good with a simi soft or hard soap?

Thanks
