I got a Simpson Berkeley 46 Best Badger in December, tried it several times over a few months, then traded it away. I didn't care for the small size, the wild smell, or the needly scritchiness. So I stuck with my Haircut & Shave 24mm synthetic, added an Omega S-brush synthetic, and most recently a RazoRock Big Bruce synthetic. The BB is hands-down my favorite of the lot, but I've been thinking about badgers again.
Specifically, I've been eyeing the Semogue SOC badger with cherry handle. I love the look, I've read great things about it, and the cost isn't too crazy. I figure if I could get one really good badger and one really good boar (haven't even started shopping for one of those yet), I'd have a nice 3-brush rotation. I just don't know how other badgers compare to the one I had.
Any feedback is appreciated, even if it's a recommendation for a different brush under $100. Thanks!
