Hey, I'm brand new to the "art" of shaving, I'm waiting for my straight razor to show up and I've been looking at brushes. I want to get a good quality badger brush. I was at the mall tonight and went to house of knives and they had a silver tip made by ice shave for $100. I am concerned with this because arent quality silver tip brushes like a few hundred? I am concerned by the cost, I really do not want to buy sub par quality that I will be unhappy with in six months. Please let me know your opinions
