Shaving Brushes (Reviews)

I found this at a garage sale 25 years ago at that time I didn't know anything about brushes just dumb luck when I got this for a few bucks. Its a stubby brush about 3 1/4 inches high the markings are Pure Badger Simpson 2. Could someone tell me how old it is and what material is the handle made of. Value? I still use it and gives great shave suds. chees, Michael in Montana

Direct competitor to Tweezerman Badger brushes.

The Omega Mighty Midget 40033 is a natural boar brush with huge backbone and surprisingly soft tips. Ht: 88 mm Loft: 48 mm Base: 40 mm Knot: 23 mm

Disclaimers: Firstly, this brush was given to me free by Sam for the purposes of testing and reviewing. Secondly, my lathering technique is the one described here (http://badgerandblade.com/vb/showthread.php/21136), except that I use cold water in all steps, so my comments about lathering etc need to be taken with that in mind. Initial Impression: When I saw the pictures of this brush on the store page (http://www.shave-shack.com.au/index.php?act=viewProd&productId=183) I was...

The mid-grade shaving brush offered by The Art of Shaving company.

After using the Body shop synth I though I'd treat my self to a proper good synth for traveling. I'm glad I did as this baby is so soft. It's a 26mm knot from FS and comes with the faux horn chubby style handle. Totall heigh is around 115mm but it's a synth so drys in a few mins when on holiday. It looks good and generates a good lather with Arko and other soap stick. The price came in at around £24 inc delivery and a stand so not too bad. This brush is so good it's in my rotation at home...

A notice to potential buyers: the Vie-Long 13120M brush is smaller than you might think! I was really eager to get this mini horse hair brush because I was attracted by its small size and color theme (coffe twirl marble). The 13120M is the undied, natural brown horse hair version of the 13120. The 35%/65%, mane/tail hair mixture gives it a good backbone but, compared to my Omega boar, this brush's backbone is noticeably weaker. Not an issue for me though. The bristles, when new...

Black version of the famous Kent 8 brush. In my view the ideal bowl lathering brush. Super silky soft Silvertip pure badger hairs, a great sized grip - not too small yet not to large either, perfect loft and knot shape for bowl lathering and face painting the lather afterwards.
