I couldn't say specifically, I have had cheap brushes which were perfectly good, I currently have a Frank's shaving brush, which is still fairly cheap but seems good. Semogue brushes are also well liked and Inexpensive. The Frank's shaving brush I have is currently about $42 Australian I think. Or maybe $25. And the semogue brushes can be had for similar prices, the semogues are boar though as far as I know so are a bit scratchier.
