My daughter bought me a badger hair brush for Christmas (I've been using boar bristles for several years). I had been somewhat disappointed at the anemic lather produced by finer shave creams, including Musgo Real and Proraso; however, with the badger bristles, I was amazed that after just a couple of whisks (literally) the lather spooled up to rich, wonderful peaks. I never realized what a difference the brush bristles make. I always assumed the stiffer bristles (boar) would more aggressively build lather, but my intuition was proved wrong. After a couple of dips in piping hot water, I had a bowl full of rich lather at least 3-4 times the volume of the brush knot.

I now have a new favorite brush.

Have you fellas experienced similar results?
