Thread: What Brush did you use today and why did you like it?

For me the day started off just right with the Thater SRP Limited Edition. This two band has plenty of body and never disappoints either with cream or soap. One of my very favorite brushes.

Have fun.

I used a Truefitt and Hill pure badger. Lovely little brush with just the right compromise between softness and springiness to make face lathering with soap both easy and pleasurable. Nice ergonomic handle too, IMO.

James.

A Van Der Hagen DELUXE boar brush. Well worth the extra 2 dollars over the standard version.

I'm not really sure why I use it. It's one of the ugliest things I've ever seen. Been using it for 2-3 years now and I'm used to the way it lathers. An Omega badger was in the rotation for a short while; I just prefer boar.

Todays brush was one that is on my all-time top 3 list.
The Langness by Simpson in Manchurian Badger is as close to brush perfection as I've ever seen.
Soap or cream, thick or thin, this brush whips up perfect lather every time.
The knot is dense with a very good balance between softness and backbone.

Semogue 1438, Boar. I have been using this brush everyday for the last 2 weeks. I have used it with Cella and L'Occitane Cade Soap, face lathering, enough in the brush for 3 passes. I love the way it feels on my face when I really scrub.

Today for me it was a Fatnash 22 ST Fan
With cream or soap it whips up a thick rich lather in no time

Rooney pure badger. IMO, one of those perfect face lathering brushes.

I could not have said it any better Lynn...Like most of us, I have several brushes and find I'm reaching out to grab my Thater more and more without even thinking. It was no different today, found myself whipping up lather with her,,,again.

I haven't shaved yet but I think I will use my Simpson 2 band Chubby 3 no, wait I'll use my Plisson HMW 14 no wait I'll use my Thater SRP Special no, wait err... eenie, meanie, miney moe.

I just got my Vie-Long horsehair brush in the other day and found it to be pretty interesting. Aside from the obvious chemical smell that overpowers you initially, the actual feel of it was incredible. Being the manly man I am, it's hard for me to distinguish much difference from my pure badger and best badger; but having said that, I believe I now have a nice progression of stiffness of brushes available to me with this recent addition.

I like my $8 boar. I really like my new horsehair. My pure and best badgers are ok, but my custom silver-tip takes the prize.

What was the question again? Oh yeah,....the Vie-Long was nice today and once I get the smell off of it, I'm sure it'll be a favorite.
