Gents, I need some assistance. I’m in the market for a new brush but remain undecided on what to purchase. I generally face lather, and usually bowl / scuttle lather in the colder months. My current and humble collection consists of the follwing brushes:
As you can see there is not really a dedicated boar in this line up. And I feel that maybe there should be. Maybe not. A few brushes I’ve had in the past and sold were:
I’ve contemplated the SOC finest badger in either Cherrywood or Taj. I’ve also been looking at Shavemac’s 2 bad silvertip with that jungle moss handle. It calls to me. But the price tag with shipping from Germany to Canada is a bit of a turn off. I’ve also been reminiscing about the Colonel 2XL, probably since it was my first Simpson / high end brush (to me anyhow.)
So, here I sit pondering choices on a hot Saturday afternoon. Suggestions welcome. Photos welcome. What do I do fellas? Add a badger to the arsenal? Maybe look at a synth and stay away from animal products? Keep on keeping on with boars or mixes? Help a brother decide!!
- Omega 011842
- RR Pilssoft
- RR Amici (Mixed)

As you can see there is not really a dedicated boar in this line up. And I feel that maybe there should be. Maybe not. A few brushes I’ve had in the past and sold were:
- SOC Boar in Cherry (As I began to face lather more, I felt this was too big and sold it)
- Colonel X2L in best (Sold this because I started to gravitate towards boars more. Should have kept it)
- Vulfix 1000a (Was my very first brush and was a pure. It would give me brush burn on my cheek. PIF’d it.)
- Semogue 2000 blonde boar (Loved this brush but it shed A LOT. PIF’d it to my brother)
