Thread: Brush Recommendation

You have a fairly high end badger, and a solid boar. Why not try horse? They aren't terribly expensive, and a lot of wetshavers (myself included) like them.

Blix - That was something I was definitely considering...it almost seems like everyone has at least one Simpson in their dens.

Birnando - Shavemac is one of those things that I've always heard good things about, but never really researched much. I'll look into it...thanks!

Tsunami - Do you think it would be considerable enough of a difference over my Semogue boar? If I were to get another boar I would definitely be eying some Omega's...but right now what i'm looking for is some kind of middle ground between my Thater and my Semogue.

Saragon - Interesting idea, but I know really nothing about horse hair brushes...regarding backbone and tip softness, where does it fall? The only horse hair brushes I've heard bandied around is Vie Long. Are there any other makers or are they really the go to company?

Thank you all, I'm desperately trying to avoid another AD and I think I will be great with just one more brush

LOL! Yeah me too

Seriously though if you are thinking to get just one more brush then just do it balls out and get a Plisson High Mountain European Badger. They have bristles that are stiffer then a normal silver and softer then a boar and are top of the line. When you have the best you will find there is no need for the rest.

The cheapest brush I ever owned is my favourite: Omega Syntex synthetic brush. I gets me better and more cinsistent lather than boar or badger.
