Thread: Your thoughts on brush brand

It's well suited to soaps and face lathering, but it will work well with anything really. It has a really good backbone for a brush of it's price. It's a bit prickly, but it picks up a boatload of soap. It's a good brush. It's on par with any of the sub-$40 brushes.

I finally put the drugstore boarbrush away about a month ago when the tweezerman arrived. WORLD of difference. The lather just explodes onto the face. How long a 12$ brush will last? I dunno. But for the time being I am going to enjoy the ride.

I upgraded to a Tweezerman last year from a pure bristle Vulvix scratcher. While I'm certain there are many more expensive brushes I'm yet ignorant to that would be softer, I also found the Tweezerman to be a vast improvement to the pure bristle and it's been an outstanding brush for me. To date, the Tweezerman has actually curbed any desire for me to upgrade to a more expensive brush. I think in the entire time I've owned it, the brush has only shed less than 10 hairs. I also dry my brush standing it on its handle with bristles to the sky. It's certainly no frills, but that's OK with me.

For $15, I think it's one of the best wet shaving related implements I've purchased to date.

For any new person looking to get set up on a budget, I wouldn't hesitate for a moment to recommend this brush.

Well, here's the thing. You have to decide what you budget dictates and get a brush that fits and does the job. If you start wondering how much you need to spend to get a quality brush you'll wind up looking for a HMW Plisson for mega bucks. So if all your concerned with is spreading the lather I would look at basic badger brushes in the $40-50 category. For that much you can get a real quality brush that wont shead like a scared racoon everytime you use it and it will last many many years. So in answer to your question no I would not get the tweezerman unless your just looking for something to tide you over for a while.

I haven't used one myself but the guys here that have mentioned using them have almost always had good things to say about them.
