Thread: BB Crabtree and evelyn Brush!

Well i went to Crabtree to upgrade my brush (finally after a year!) and low and behold there out of the $35 Best badger shave brushes, so i start talking to the lady there and she said there discontinuing that model but there getting in similar Best Badger Brushes for $65 she said i can wait or order it now online so instead i bought the Super Badger Brush for $20 more and man was it well worth it, compared to my tiny AOS genuine badger brush this things a monster and it actually fits in my shaving mug which is almost 4" in diameter/

Smart move passing on the $65 BB. C&E - what a joke of a move!

Cheers

Here is C&E new lineup of brushes.

So what will be the new alternative for a cheap starter brush? This one has been performing admirably for me and I wish other newbs can experience the same performance without breaking the bank.

IMO, that would be Savile Row - from QED USA. Supposedly actual shavemacs.

Mind you, Ilija (and all others) - I don't have one so I'm just speculating, even if based on quite a bit of research

I'm not sure if we have those up in Canada. I hope we do.

Ah - you meant something you can just pick up at a store?

I have no idea then. Maybe Caswell-Massey brushes? There is this one - $40, bit small but I don't know many other stores that carry badger brushes.

I think Ilija meant in stores around Canada... That people can just go and check out?

Otherwise, the Savile Rows would be a better choice ordered online from qedusa.

I still think the C&E pure badger brushes are a great deal.

When I went to buy the Best Badger that everyone was raving about they didn't have it (at the Eaton Center here in Toronto) so I settled for this one.

Sure its not Best Badger but I still think its great, and I don't intend on buying a new one for years.
