Looking for recommendations for my first badger brush. Have been looking at the razorock 24mm barrell badger finest any thoughts?
No experience here, Derb, but I have seen lots of Razorock hardware posted with good opinions. Their suds have always been good.
Which brush are you going for?
Otay! Here we go...

I dig it.
One thing that is almost guaranteed is that you will buy others when you have a better idea of what you want out of a badger brush. You have to start somewhere and I guess that RR brush is as good a place as any to start with.

I like um.all, but I prefer the black badger.

I like a dence badge brush. But these cost more. You need to use a few to find out what you like. Some like floppy, others like stiff. Some like 19mm and others like 30mm. Its a personnal choice.
20 Bucks.. I shall order me one? Says Mr. too many brushes!
Had I not too many, I would easily get on this.
I am assuming this is a 2-band? If lesser, too soft for me.
Van den Hagen makes a decent badger brush, it can be found at most Wal Marts.
I have read this ^^^^^ before but havent tried one. Might be a good way to start.
Ok have found a Thater 4125/1 or a Simpson Berkeley. Any help?
Derb, I am a handle snob, but not a knot snob. I just like the shafts to stand-up as the lather is built from the tips.
I just don't toss my brush in water. :nono:
My favorites are very old with TGN and Sheng 2-bands and a few 2-band Shavemacs (which I would not not have but for the generosity of MikeB52).
I dig my Omega boars and Vie Long Horsie as well.
In some way, a brush is a brush, It's all subjective.
I CAN testify that a good boar brush is MUCH better than a cheap badger one. Something IMO.
