Thread: Want to buy some new brushes....need some help

Like bob I would say if your going to be buying a lot of brushes I would try some non badger brushes like boar/ horse/ and synthetic. Good quality of any of these shouldn't set you back to much.

if I buy a quality brush in pure badger do they get softer and better with time....just thought I would ask.

What is "pure" badger these days ?

In my experience, no. Pure badger stays prickly and scritchy and uncomfortable compared to better grades.

Thanks I didn't think so I just thought I would ask. I bought one not to long ago at a antiq shop. It is pure badger. It is prickly it seems tough and looks to wear like iron. I use it when I use prosaso soap and a DE. I kind of paint it on my face with it.

I think I will stick to the better Grade of badger at my age I deserve it.
