Thread: "The Art of Shaving" Brush

I have been using a cheap tweezerman brush to start. I cant get the best lather with it,but for the cost I did not expect much.

I recived as a gift a pure badger The Art Of Shaving brush. I think it cost $55. Anyone have any experience with it?

I checked some other threads about a nice brush in that price range, however I know thats a very tough question.

Dovo makes awesome razors, so who makes awesome brushes.

Yes I am new to this.

Thanks

I love my aos brush.. I believe if u look up my latest posts u will find one that explains brushes..

I have a AOS fine badger that I got as a gift and enjoy the heck out if it.

Mine is a finest badger but it is a very nice brush and I can't imagine I will ever get rid of it.

I believe AOS brushes are made by Shavemac. Shavemac is very well respected.

I use my AOS brush everyday. Ido have two others but since it was my first brush and work great why change.

Maybe this is a silly question, but why not just use the one you received to see what you think of it?

I suggest trying it. I have a VDH Deluxe boar ($ 9) and three good badgers ( up to $ 140). They all make good lather and I use them all each week.

At the AOS store by me, I have asked two different clerks on two separate occasions who makes their brushes, and they both answered, "Victoria."

I'm basing this on the shape of the handle. At my local AOS store, when asked, they had no idea.

A search for "Victoria shaving brushes" yielded this:
