I just had my first badger brush shave today. I've been using an Omega boar brush since I started this whole wet shaving thing and thought it's about time I took the plunge and find out what all the fuss is about.
So today I went out to C&E and picked up their best badger brush (the alliteration is quite amusing... to me anyways.) Got home, took a shower and went to work with this new implement .
I have to say I wasn't super impressed. Don't get me wrong it is incredibly soft, and I may just have to get used to it. But I kind of (at this point, which may be a little premature to judge) prefer the the stiffness of the boar hair. I suppose the problem that I have with it is that, I like the feel of the scrubbing sensation I get with my boar... But I'll give it more time, because I can definitely see my self coming to love it... We'll see.
I'll keep you posted.
