Currently have a brand newish bk 8. Not a huge fan of it, little to floppy for me. I've been switching back and forth between that and the C&E best badger. I like the stiffness of the Crabtree but its a bit small for my liking. I just started using and lathering in a scuttle. What's a good brush I can start looking in the higher price range that's stiff enough? I use both soaps and creams.
