Thread: Help with picking a brush

I've found brushes are another YMMV. I haven't found any love so far for badger. I though have minimal experience with them. A Vulfix pure (too prickly),Shea from target (too prickly and floppy) and a TGN overstuffed Silvertip (too soft and fluffy). I'm still working to find a badger that I like.

Of the brushes I've tried I find Vie Long horsehair brushes to be stellar performers. I also think as for Value brushes it's hard to beat the Vulfix 404 mixed. There's also the Bestshave horsehair brushes, but to me they seem to take a while to break in and are made of the stiffer mane hair. Have poor QC but IMHO better than most entry brushes.

The Best advice I think regarding brushes is to buy what you like the looks of and think you would like to use. And remember that price doesn't always correlate to quality, but sometimes it does. As with all things shaving related, it's YMMV.
