I've got a gift card to C&E and I'm trying to decide whether to try one of their shave creams or get a badger hair brush. I'm still new to the straight world, currently I've been shaving with a burma boar brush and williams soap w/ palmolive creams.

I see that they have a Best badger brush online for $35 dollars, which is odd because all the others are $75.00 and up. Would it be worth it to save up for a better badger brush?

I've read that C&E soaps aren't that great, and I've been wanting to try a shave cream anyway, so I may pick up a jar of my favorite scent.

So which way to go? I'm hoping to get another gift card soon from credit card reward points, so worst case is I'll have to wait a few months.

So... BRUSH or CREAM??
