Cheap Brush for Newbie?

[Giatros89]

Hey I'm new and not financially stable considering im a student. This is probably not a good hobby/ interest to get into now but i'm tired of bad shaves so dare I ask whats the best brush I can get away with at a low cost?

Gillette blue tip + derby razors + kiss my face cream is my starter kit.

I like my delong badger I got on ebay for under $20 shipped. Or for a boar I would go with the omega 49 for about $13 shipped.

I am extremely pleased with my new tweezerman brush. It's so much better than the burmashave I was trying to use. I googled tweezerman, and found it for $16 free shipping I believe. Shop around though for the free shipping, maybe amazon might be a good place too.

+1 for the Tweezerman, it's my go to brush... not that I have a lot of them but I do like it. Pretty good backbone and scritch.

They had them on Amazon.com for $12 shipped at one point. They vary from $12-16 but make sure you get free shipping unless it's a dollar or something.

I bought a Tweezerman with my starter kit, and it works well so far. I've also shaved a few times with the cheap Van Der Hagen boar brush ($9.00 at Walgreens), and it worked just fine. The Tweezerman is a bit softer, but the VDH got the job done.

A vote for Omega from me.

Go for the Tweezerman brush for $12-16. I got mine from Amazon. If you can afford $35, then go to www.theenglishshavingcompany.com and get their EJ BBB medium. That is the one that I currently use.

So whats the difference between the Omega 49 and the Tweezerman. Note I have very thick hair.
