Hi all,
I've been enjoying reading the forums for quite a while--thanks for all the accumulated knowledge.
I'm considering the BBE as my first and only good brush. I've been using an old boar bristle that belonged to my father--nice enough, but really scratchy.
My main question is whether the BBE is brush enough to be the only brush I own for a long time or is there something else to consider. I don't have the resources to own half a dozen brushes so I want to make sure the one I buy is good enough for the long run. I use both soaps and creams with a Merkur DE. I don't know any particular brush preferences as I've never owned a nice one. I recently bought a $11 Omega synthetic with which I've been pleasantly surprised. I've read what threads I could about the Essential and the general consensus seems to be very positive--but usually from folks who own multiple brushes.
Any and all feedback is appreciated.
Thanks,
Colorado
