Hi all, I am looking for a good brush that has a modern looking handle. I like the omegas look and I know they can be high quality but just wondering what else is out there. I searched the internet but I do not see much.
I would love recommendations from you all.
Thanks!
Omega's are good choice for a reasonably priced, quality brush. They are widely available at a number of online retailers.
You may also want to consult the Shavemac website too. They have a modern brush line.
what do you mean by 'modern'? i agree with the above advice of looking at omega and shavemac brushes.
The term modern is a matter of one's personal taste. That said, there's Dovo, Merkur, Kent has a couple, Pilsson, Joris, Thǎter, Muhle, and I'm sure some I've missed. I only looked on the Royal Shave site.

Mainly straight lines, not the traditional ornate curvy handle.Quote:

I like some of the Semogue Brushes in clear acrylic, here a few... Semogue Premium Handmade Badger Hair and Boar Bristle Shaving Brushes from Portugal
haha i'm not sure if this is a joke or not, but if they do i would LOVE to see how that works!Quote:

EDIT: Sorry for the double post, I don't know what happened.....
I had great luck on Ebay believe it or not. Franks Shaving Brushes are awesome. They come in tons of varieties, obviously the higher quality the higher the price. But for a Silvertip extra stuffed, that has to ship from China, i paid 25.00$ it was the best purchase so far from ebay. Also, right now its my best brush. Affordable, great service, and awesome product. If you search for it in the forums, there have been many posts on the company as well. Give it a shot!
Go check the Vie-Long brushes are really nice and great price.
They have boar, badger and horse hair. I have the horse hair Zurito and I LOVE IT!!!!
i dont mean modern functionality-wise, I mean modern looking.Quote:

Thater also makes a few models that are more modern looking, along the lines of the Omega.
Most brushes are made to be vintage in appearance. You can have a custom made to your specs. Contact Shavemac and there are some other custom guys around.
I find this Thater to have a nice modern look. Royal Shave Thater 4125 Silvertip Classic Shaving Brush, Black Handle, SmallQuote:

AND they are cool to hold. Despite it's sleek and slim look, they have some HEFT. They look plastic in the picture but are not. They are some kinda brushed something or other.. anyway, they are COOL.
ClassicShaving and SraightRazorDesigns both sell them -there is a RED and a BLUE
