Thread: Brushes

Yes. There is a huge difference in brushes.
Knot loft.
Knot size.
Bristle type; synthetic, boar, badger (and mutliple grades of badger).
And that's just the basic stuff. I'm too lazy to link from my phone but check out the Wiki for more info ad detailed explanations.

Brushes are like women; they are all good, just some are better than others.
You just gotta get out there and sample them all.

Good newbie brush?? Low cost??

You gotta look, Bart, don't cheat yourself. Hunting them is half the fun.
You can get a Van Der Hagen Natural Boar at Wal mart for under $10.00 or badgers that run into the hundreds. Keep an eye out in our classified section, SRD or surf the straight razor web. We have venders here (SRP)that will make to order. Contact them for quotes.
