Thread: Anyone use a synthetic brush?

It works a treat for all 'lather products', from hard soaps to creams.

The performance isn't quite as good as my SilverTip bagder brushes, but it is more than good enough for daily use - in fact I have used it exclusively for the last nine (9) months or so

Have fun !

Russ,

Is the Vulfix Nylon brush still being produced/available? I've looked for it and cannot find a vendor. Where/when did you get yours?

I have the body shop's brush and this omega brush

Omega #343312 - Ovangkol Wood - Artificial Badger - Dark, Rich and Beautiful

Do yourself a favor and skip the body shop's brush. It's good for the money, but I really like my omega a lot more.

My favorite, too.

The Body Shop makes a decent synthetic brush. At $10 a pop it's a pretty good deal too.

InspectorInjector,

I got mine from Connaught Shaving (Welcome To Connaught Shaving) a couple of years ago.

You are quite right though; Connaught no longer stock it, and it is no longer mentioned on the Vulfix website

I have had a quick trawl on the 'InterWeb', and most vendors seems to be out of stock

I did find this one :

Have fun !

Thanks for the lead Russ. I may give it a try, although the shipping cost from the UK to US may be a deal breaker on an $8 brush. Good deal for UK buyers though.

Actually, the shipping to the US was only about a dollar more than within the UK. Total for the brush plus international shipping was less than $12. Great deal. Looking forward to seeing if I agree with you Russ.

I don't own one, but I've heard good things about Men-u synthetic brushes.
