I've been using my Merkur Futur brush for a year, and it's worked well, but I feel there is a higher level of shaving brush experience which I have not yet reached.
I've had some looks at Rooney and Shavemac brushes, but it's hard to judge how they would be different from my Merkur, and which one would give me the best shaving experience.
For example, I can't tell whether the Merkur is a bulb or fan shaped brush, although I guess it is the former, since it's German. It may not be as densely packed as the Shavemacs, however.
In other words: What do you think is the best upgrade from a Merkur brush at around $100 (to be used mostly with creams)?
Regards,
Alex
