Thread: Good travel brush?

I'm looking for a good travel brush in best or silvertip badger. I like a tulip shape and medium size. It doesn't have to be made for travel, but it must come with a nice case for travel. Suggestions?

Ah. Well, I use the smaller C&E badger as a travel brush, but it didn't come with a case. Although, it is small enough that you could probably use a small makeup bag I guess. But, I'm guessing there must be some purpose made brushes that fit your criteria - someone here will know, for sure.

I'd suggest the Saville Row brushes but I cannot think of one that has a case.

I think Shavemac might have some turnback brushes in a silvertip and bulb shape.

Kyle, you can get travel tubes from Em's place for not much $$. They're large enough to fit your average 21-22mm brushes. I bought one and use one of my Vulfix 405 for travel. The Saville Row 2118 is silvertip and gets rave reviews, but I haven't tried it myself. They make some larger sizes too.

Il Bambino is an outstanding brush. I have one and yearn for no other brush. I'll be getting second as a travel brush and keep it in the tube I have from my C&E Pure Badger travel brush. If it had a matching case, it'd be a no brainer recommendation.

Got a link?

Edit: Found it and ordered one. Thanks! I also ordered this brush from Muehle-Pinsel: http://www.muehle-shaving.com/shop/_...h/1/23/81_H_72. I've admired it for awhile, and though shipping was more than the brush, I also bought some soap and got it all for $45 -- not a bad price if the brush is anywhere near as good as my daily M-P.

I bought a T&H travel brush from ForrestryProf some time back. I can highly recommend it. Not cheap new from T&H though.

If Muhle hasn't shipped your order yet, perhaps you could add their travel tube to your order.

i like the Vulfix turnback myself. however I dont assemble it after I take it out of the tube, I like to keep it small.

Crap! I didn't see that! Oh, well, the one I'm getting from Em's looks about the same.
