    Just a cheap one from eBay. Just about £7, which is like $10.

    Are you sure its badger? Cause after 4 months it should be broken in and not be stiff or scratchy still. The only brush I've ever used that stayed scratchy was boars hair. Not that I doubt you, but being from eBay, I doubt most of the things from that site.

    But a good badger brush thats good and broke in would help keep your skin from feeling sore Im sure. Softer tips have less chance of abrading the skin prior to your shave.

    Hey Dude

    Well I presume its badger, it was advertised as badger and it kinda looks like badger, but the quality is poor. I think I might get a new brush and see if that helps, even if it doesn't, having a better brush it always nice haha.

    If it's pure badger which is the cheapest it's very prickly. try using less pressure as you apply it to your face. Either that's your issue or you have very sensitive skin in which case a softer grade is what you need.

    I agree with going with a higher grade badger. Badger brushes just get better and better with use; i.e., softer and more loft.
