[QUOTE=BobH;1490799]What exactly are you using now?
im not quite sure it came in a kit for vintage blades no mame on it
With no starting point as a reference pretty hard to advise. A price point would help too. Maybe somebody who has used that brush could help.

Loft is 50 mm
smouge oc boar breaks in lovely its huge and floppy and its under 20 bucks and will lasy years...... you need it, its a must have and im a badger guy
Just had a look here https://www.vintagebladesllc.com/sho...-Blades-Brand/ and it is said to be a 2 band badger knot. Two band badgers are generally known for their stiffness/backbone compared to 3 band silver tips. Maybe look for a more densely packed slightly larger 2 band badger brush with with a low loft setting. The good news is that with your budget you will have a lot of good choices. The 2 band that I have is a Semogue SOC brush that has good backbone/stiffness and is well within your budget. How it compares to yours I could not say, unfortunately.

Gifts and care.com has Vie-long 26mm two bands for $135 shipped. Two bands are stiff but tips are soft.
I know Bobs a big fan.you might try a syn Knot.
As much as I like synthetic knots none of the ones I have are particularly scrubby so i don't think you would like one of them.
Oth if you want to try a boar knot I would get an Omega 10066 for under $10.00 to test the waters. The one I have is nice and stiff and will scrub your face. If you go with a boar brush understand they need about 3 weeks of every day use to really break in. When they break in you won't really loose stiffness but the tips will split and soften a bit. It is a very nice little brush that shocked me in how well it performs. At that price you don't have much to loose.

try a black badger with a low loft , you,ll get scratchy! tc
A Manchurian knot or a Thater should do nicely. A more modest size should be in your budget. Check out Thater and Simpson.
