Am new to wet shaving. After hearing all the buzz on brushes really wanted a good badger brush. But based on what I had learned I knew I did not want a cheap badger brush, I wanted to get a quality badger brush(silvertip would be nice). Then when I was shopping, looking at my very limited budget i realised that the "good" badger brushes would be cost prohibited. Plus I had not done this yet and did not want to waste a bunch of money if I did not like it. I figured I better off with a Good quality boar brush which is cheaper than a cheap badger brush, but would be better.
So i talked to Jarrod at superior shave. He recommended the omega 20102(its in my avatar). I was very happy with this brush, and it did not seem nearly as "stiff and rough" as some made them sound. I found the brush to be quite soft and nice. But taken that I do not have another brush reference point this is just based on the use of this brush. Did not get greatest lather first shave. Not sure if it is the brush, soap, or my technique. Sure i will figure it out. So if you need a cheap brush guys dont be afraid to get one of these. And some comments about it being to stiff and rough well, guess that depends on the guy and your reference point.
