see I have to use alot of cream and only can get one pass out of mine.
I have a Shavemac pure badger that is a favorite. A few of the cheaper Semogue boars that I like very much too. It doesn't necessarily have to be an expensive brush to do the job and for the end user to enjoy it. Maybe a bad analogy but I enjoy wearing my Chuck Taylor Converse All Stars as much as my Florsheim Imperials but one is not in the same class as the other. When you get into high end badger knots the differences are nuanced. IOW, hard to put into words. I can say that my Thater has soft tips and a lot of backbone but you have to really feel it to appreciate it. IMHO.
For making lather more efficiently mantic shaving videos on you tube helped me a lot.
My favorite bush is the two that I have, an AOS Fine Badger and a Semogue 610 in black, because they both do an excellent job of making and putting slick and creamy shave goodness on my face, every day.
