Thread: Opinions of Vulfix Super Badger Brushes

Since I got my SRD Bulldog mug, I've been using my badger brush more. It's a Fendrihan, probably a pure badger, and while it's soft, it lacks the "body" of my Vulfix boar bristle brush.

I read somewhere that Vulfix Super Badger brushes were stiffer than other brands, and I'd like some opinions before ordering. Here's a link to one that caught my eye. Thanks in advance.

Vulfix Shaving Brushes

My own impression from reading around is that Vulfix super badgers would be on the floppy side. My two sure are. Soft tips, and I can whip up good lather with both of them, but floppy.

Not worth the money. They are floppy and shed quite a bit of hair.

For just a little more, you can buy a Thäter-- which in my opinion is perhaps the best brush on the market. Certainly the best brush in the price range!

I have two. One is a pure badger (for travelling), and the other is a super badger. I enjoy them both, but I really dig the super badger. I like the floppy brushes, and these two definitely qualify.

Ben mentioned above that they may not be worth the money. I've looked on the Vulfix UK site, he's right, there is no way I would pay that kind of money.

However, there are places that are much less. Check Ebay, and some of the shaving shops.

The Vulfix 41 on the UK site is about 85 pounds. I found mine in Toronto for $70. Half the price.

I digress. The brushes are floppy, and make a great lather.

Hope this helps.

I haven't tried a Simpson since Vulfix bought them out but I've heard they are darn good. As good as the Somerset Simpsons according to what I've heard. If that is true they must be using a different bristle than that for their Vulfix branded brushes. Simpsons have never been floppy IME with a half dozen of them.

Vulfix has a long history of making floppy brushes. I have one-a super badger and it's very floppy. The quality is fine but it's just very floppy. Unless you like floppy I would stay away.

My favorite brush is a Vulfix Super Badger. It is very soft and feels great on the face but I hesitate to call it floppy. I think everyone has their own opinion and each has their favorite brand, etc. I for one love my Vulfix and recommend one to anyone who wants a quality brush at a reasonable price. Fyi, mine hasn't shed at all since the first few break in shaves.

The only brush I have is a Vulfix Super Badger, faux ebony. Bought it almost 5 years ago. No problem with shedding (dropped maybe 4-5 hairs), makes good lather, feels good. About $70

Man, was beginning to think we had a bunch of haters and that I might be able to get some brushes CHEAP. I for one really like my super badger vulfix and don't find it floppy nor do I find it to be one that would need Rogaine. I will admit that I don't use it as much since I got the longer shafted one made by a friend:

Never really understood the "floppy" designation. It seems to just be another name for really soft bristles. Some shavers seem to use floppy as an almost derogatory term, "It's too floppy", but I can't see the problem. I like the softness of my Vulfix Super Badger, it whips excellent lather from whatever soap I use and it's comfortable on my face.
