im confused a little. I like my body shop synthetic brush but i want something better

Have you ever considered making your own? For under $50, you can get a great knot and a handle from sites like Whipped Dog or The Golden Nib. This way, I've been able to make myself brushes that rival many of the more expensive brands for far, far less. Whipped dog will even put the handle & knot together for you for free if you don't feel like undertaking it yourself.

+1 for whippeddog, great customer service.

That depends, do you primarily use soaps or creams and do you bowl, face or palm lather? Also Mantic59 has a few videos on buying a brush.

There's some great suggestions others have made. But to be 100% honest with you, in order to give you a really good suggestions we would need more information.

Maybe some things like what type of hair/bristle you're interested in? Bowl or face lather? How soft or harsh you want it? Soaps/creams/both?

There's a lot of factors to consider!

My suggestion is to wait for the extra $20 to come in and go for Simpsons Colonel X2L in best.

Better in what ways? Is that the only brush you've used? If you haven't tried a boar and you haven't tried a badger then try them out. You can't assess the options without any experience with them and we can't make meaningful recommendations if you can't tell us what you like and what you don't like. Without more information on what you're looking for you'll get a longer list of options that will just continue to confuse you. Help us to help you.

This thread is a must read for anyone asking for brush recommendations. It's by no means an exhaustive list of things to consider but it will give you a starting point:

^ This. Brushes aren't one-size-fits-all at a given price level. It's a very subjective/YMMV matter. The more info the person asking for recommendations can give, the better the feedback that person will get.

That depends on what kind of brush you want: synthetic, badger, boar, horse
What are you looking for?

I would recommend a Rooney 3/1 in super silvertip! http://badgerandblade.com/vb/showthread.php/174242-Brush-Chronicles-3-Rooney-3-1-Super-Silvertip

Good quality brush, only about $20 more than your preferred price range

The Rooney 3/1 Silver Tip is one of the best brushes for the money. If you can put forward the extra cash that will give you a fantastic brush.

Rooney 3/1 or Rooney 1/2 (model number / size)

Rooney 3/1 is a great all-arounder.
