Hello brush world. I am a little out of my element and I am usually in the DE forums however my question requires some expertise found here. I have been DE shaving for about a year or so and have gone through a couple bouts of RAD. Up to this point I have primarily hand lathered with some wally world shave cream. My only experience with a brush has been a cheep box store brush that sheds when you just think about it. This has resulted in fairly unsatisfying brush experiences the few times I have tried soaps. I of course understand this is not a very fair to brushes in general and with my recent christmas gift of some poraso cream I am now on the hunt for a decent brush. Now I know I could go and spend $100 and get a good brush but my budget simply does not allow that. I have watched the BST a bit but never seem to be quick enough, nor have the confidence to know what I am getting. I am not opposed to a used brush as many times you can get a little more value out of something gently used. I have no preference as to if the brush is synthetic boar or badger. my only real concern is that it does not shed.
Is it possible to buy a brush for the $20 to $40 range that will be worth a hoot or should I stick to hand lathering?
Thank You in advance for all of your help.
