    Default In need of First badger brush!

    How good is the brush that comes in this package?
    Truefitt & Hill - Ultimate Traveler

    It seems pretty basic and is so low quality it can't be bought on it's own?

    Any thoughts?

    They don't seem to sell any pure badger brushes on their own. I should imagine there's nothing wrong with it, as a basic brush. Do you have an idea of your budget?

    I don't know about that one but I bought this Kingsley almost a year ago and have been very satisfied with it and use it daily. Of course it's my only badger brush so I can't compare it to anything but for the price ($26) I found it a good deal.

    IMO In this kind of packages the brush is mostly the weakest part and overpriced. You can get a much better options from on line shops and if you live in States the postage should not be the problem either.

    check out this wiki thead

    Brushes - Straight Razor Place Wiki

    here is good on line shop for Edwin Jagger brushes, notice the special offers too

    The English Shaving Company - Edwin Jagger shaving accessories, shaving creams and aftershaves

    Tweezerman is a cheap starter brush (about $10-15) which you can see in that wiki thread. It's not a biggest one but works well and is a pure badger

    Default Travel Kit

    This looks a lot like the starter kit that I picked up last night form Art of Shaving. Their starter kit includes pre-shave oil, cream, pure badger hair brush and after shave balm for $25 bucks. They have a larger size kit for 50 that includes a little bit fuller brush.

    I would highly recommend the kit I got. I love mine!

    Thanks for the Art of Shaving suggestion. Getting my razor this week and I wanted an easy low-price entry for the soap/brush/etc. and given that there's an Art of Shaving very nearby me I will definitely check this out.

    If price is your only concern, EJ has a special going on for their small brushes. Otherwise, fendrihan.com makes their own brushes for a pretty good price. Then...there is always the bay.

    I personally recommend EJ best badger in whatever knot you can afford. Buy the medium and you probably won't buy another brush unless you get SBAD.
