Fumbling about.
This thread is in response to a post I read today. A post which caused me to consider yet another thing I don't know anything about.
Generally I don't spend a lot on brushes compared to guys who do, but I have a collection of boars I regard as premium boar brushes. The only one which failed was the Thater, the most expensive by far, but I don't think its failure was the fault of the bristles; a badger would have failed too.
This is another of my premium brushes but it cost well under $40. That would be very cheap for a not as good badger.
I have no idea about how long boars last compared to badgers. I've only been using them consistently for a couple of years or so, but none of my other boars (or badgers) show any signs of not being with me for the duration.
What's your experience?
Happy shaves,
Jim
Boars don't last so don't blow a lot of money on one.
