    I think you're better off getting an Omega Boar. Low price badger isn't always pleasant.

    Pure Badger is pretty prickly. If you can you should look at one first before buying.

    Look around the Bay. A Frank shaving Best badger is about the same price. I've been using mine for about 3 months now and like it quite a bit.

    Typically best badger is a big step up from the pure. It's probably the best bang for the buck in brushes. It usually combines the qualities of pure with silver meaning the better side of pure with the lessor side of silver if that makes sense. Of course it all depends on the individual manufacturer and what they call best and the amount of fill and overall size.

    I agree with thebigspendur on this one. Go with the
    best badger instead. Edwin Jagger's best badger brush is one of my go to brushes.
