Hi,
I am new to DE but have been using a shaving brush and cream for a few years with the dreaded cartridge. Was an el cheapo Omega boar. When I switched to DE I upgraded to a much nicer Omega 80280 boar which I am very happy with.
But I am now curious about how a badger would feel in comparison. I have been thinking of getting one of the numerous cheap badger brushes just to see what the difference is. I use Tabac soap and bowl lather.
So do you think one of the cheap badger brushes (<$40) will give me a good idea of the differences between boar and badger ? Or do I need to up my budget to make a fair comparison ?
I realise that within the badger ranks there is a range of softness etc. but I assume they share the basic characterstics ? i.e. you could tell in a blind test if you have a boar or badger.
thanks
