Hi All. I must admit to being probably the only member of this society. In my home town I work at the local Woolworths. We do not sell shaving brushes or shaving soap. Shaving soap is hard to get around here, mainly online only. The local IGA do have shaving brushes for around $7.00. I have been getting mine from the discount shop for $2.00. Imported from China of course. I have been using these for a number of years and I have grown to like them. I have purchased a couple of $10.00 brushes when my father asked for a new brush for Father's Day. I gave him one and kept the other one for myself. I have never used it. It is still in the box it came in. Has anyone else found a cheap brush that takes their fancy? I realise that YMMV and many wouldn't even consider trying such a cheap brush.
