Have just received my first mama bears shave soap and now need a brush - should I go for a boar or are pure badger good enough on these hard soaps?
I have badger and bristle combo brushes, and three badger brushes - and all of them work fine with Mama Bear's soaps. I personally think these are among the easiest soaps to lather.
I just used my Mama Bear's Irish Tweed soap with my trusty Edwin Jagger best badger this morning. Loaded it up for a full minute and as usual was rewarded with some great lather. 3 passes worth.Have just received my first mama bears shave soap and now need a brush - should I go for a boar or are pure badger good enough on these hard soaps?
It seems that I saw a Badger/Boar combo at Shoebox Shave Shop's website. I thought it was the Omega Mighty Midget. Recently I tried to find that brush again and couldn't. The Mighty Midget's desciption does not say it's a blended knot. What is the brush that you are using?
Sorry for hijacking the thread!!!

It is from Caswell-Massey. I have two of them. My oldest son gave one to me as a Christmas present along with some soaps - and then two years later gave me the identical brush again! The two on the left are the brushes. View attachment 142916
