My dad has this old boar brush that looks like its gone bald, been run over by a train and pissed on by a pack of wild dogs. I decided that since he uses this brush every day, it would be a good gift for the holidays. The problem is that my parents get very upset when we spend much money on them, so I need to keep it like $65.00 or less.
Right now he uses his crappy brush with a disposable razor and regular old bath soap in a coffee mug, it makes me cringe.
I cant imagine it would be hard to improve upon what he has, but to be honest, I havent heard many people praise brushes under $100.00. The brush doesnt have to have a huge knot, I am thinking around the 23mm range would be fine, but it has to be badger. Any ideas?
