    Default 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.

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