So I've been using tweezerman's badger brush for about 3 years now. It did the job while it lasted but I'm looking into buying Kent's BLK8 (silver tip). I figure if I'm going to buy a brush I might as well get something that works well. Do any of you have/ had any Kent shaving brushes and if so, what do you think about their quality? Also, any other great silver tip alternative brushes you'd recommend? Thanks in advance!
