Item Description
I bought this from Em's Place (item #mn-pvhb, $22.95) wanting to try a combination boar/badger brush.
Floppy brushes are not my style, so I've been gravitating to boar brushes lately. Inexpensive boar brushes feel fine to me, but it would be nice if they would hold water better. Inexpensive badger brushes hold water, but are often floppy and scratchy.
The Mayfair combines the best of both worlds in a brush that is just the right size for me. Here it is compared to the Savile Row 3120.

I used the brush with Proraso cream and Mitchell's Wool Fat soap and it worked great with both. It was comfortable and efficient when face lathering with the Mitchell's.
The English-made brush has an ergonomic handle that does not have any of the molding seams associated with inexpensive brushes.
So if you want an inexpensive brush with some backbone that holds water well and shows no mercy on soaps, then give the Mayfair a try.
Here is the link to Em's site, listed as 'Boar and Badger':
