Thread: Badger Brush

I'm shopping for a new badger brush, I have a boar and a synthetic so I'm jonesing for a badger. My budget is $130 and I want a two band Silvertip. Any suggestions?

Thater or Shavemac. Both excellent two band brushes within your range. You may also want to check out Brad Sears.

Will check it out

It might be very uncomfortable applying lather with a boat. Is it a big one?

Just kidding.

get a Badger just for a change of pace. Check out the Thaters.

What about savior row? Does anyone have any experience with them

Saville Row has a very good rep. I think Jimmy has some of them.

Look at the VP Leonardy 2-band silvertips at [URL="https://thesuperiorshave.com/vp_leonhardy.html"]/URL].
The 8000 series have the nicest handles, and a fan shaped head. The 8007 is the same brush with less expensive handle. The 6800 is a bulb shaped head.

I have four Thater 4292's a 3,4,5 & 6. The 4292/4 is my favorite and is just 16 above what you have listed for your budget. It is an excellent brush.

I will look into the thaters

Not sure since I build my own. I source a lot of if not all badger from overseas because it is where it comes from for the most part. I just finished a brush for a friend and did it in 26mm Silvertip and it is one of the best feeling badgers I have acquired yet. I have been primarily using other grades however and find they feel fine on my face.

If you don't have a badger in the lineup I highly recommend you do.......I have been happy with FS brand which was my first Silvertip. I believe you said you have a $130 budget so you should be able to find something nice.
