Looking for a long handled brush
Does anyone know of a nice affordable long handled badger shaving brush. My current and only brush is a $10 Tweezerman badger and I love it. Only problem is it's a little short compared to my shaving mug, which is really deep, and I can't get a good grip on it when building a later without smashing my knuckles.
So if anyone knows of a nice one, preferably with a wood or plastic handle (don't want to crack the mug with a metal one)... let's have it!

Hello, zappbrannigan,
Try these brushes. They are good for the money, and the vendor's service is excellent.

True long handle brushes are uncommon. I've seen some brushes with just big handles but the true long handled ones tend to have narrow handles. I used to have one of those. They won't stand by themselves and few brush holders will fit them.

Cost you quite a bit more but the Simpson polo and one of the Rooney heritage line are long handled.
Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

My wide mouth flea market mug was also too deep.
I now support my "good shave soap" on top of
a puck of Williams that is glued to the
bottom with some clear easy to melt
glycerin soap.

Here's the couple of brushes I got from Chip. I like both of them a lot. The C2 is a nice long handle.

Lynn,
Thanks for the kind words. C2 is our brand now, the wooden handled brush was our first prototype we sent out and we didn't have a logo at that time.Lynn likes this.
