1 of 3 brushes- but which?

[wolftiger]

I'm looking for a non prickly brush and I'm choosing between these.
I'm glad for any pros an cons from the forum.

1 . A whipped dog 24 knot.
Reading the earlier threads it seems like a good performer - but the looks is so-so.

2 A frank shaving http://m.ebay.com/itm/221337853211?nav=WATCHING&sbk=1

3. This good looking brush that I can't find any reviews of.

You won't go wrong with a Whipped Dog.

 

[Prof. Moriarty]

Not on your list of options but what about a quality boar brush like Semogue or Omega? They are great quality, and soft as anything once broken in.

Thank you for the input.
But I'm am looking for a really good badger brush.

What do you consider really good? My favourite badger brushes are the Edwin Jagger Silvertip, Simpson Best, Rooney Heritage, Morris & Forndran, and Thäter.
Hope this helps you mate, good luck on your search.

Forgot to add, why not get a vintage brush off of the bay and reknot it with a Whipped Dog? Then you have the knot, and the look

Thank you. That vintage idea is good.
Now there is more options. Instead of less- thank you. I guess ;-).

+1 for the Whipped Dog brush; great brush at an even better price. An excellent choice for this point in your shave journey; you have the rest of your shaving life to get crazy over brush acquisitions! If you are afflicted with the AD's like the rest of us you will get to them in time...

Thank you for the input. I'm sorry i don't know the shortening "AD"

 

[wolftiger]

No one that liked number 3? Or better know anything about it?

I liked the looks of it very much,know nothing about it though.

 

[wolftiger]

Actually i really like Number 3. But I would like an educated guess about its softness/quality. Or better a review.

I can't find any reviews on it, you'd be taking a gamble.

Thank you for the effort!

Thank you for the effort!

It is probably a cheap knot, I'd go with a tried and tested brush if you are looking for a really good badger brush.

This was my first brush and I still have it and love it

Do you care about things like backbone or flow through or anything like that so much? Or you just want a badger?

I would go Whipped Dog of those options in:

Small = 20mm x 45mm loft
Medium = 22mm x 48mm loft
Large = 24mm x 50mm loft

May I make a relatively inexpensive 2-band suggestion that has received very high praise from some long-standing and respectable members:

I got an EJ best badger but I don't like it's being prickly.
Backbone and file is surely something I care about but I'm to much of a newbie to know the differences and my own preference yet.
But I'm very sure of that I want the brush to be real kind to my skin.

Would these be soft and non prickly brushes?
