I have a beard and use straight razor for neck line and top of cheeks. Is there a good reccomendation for a smaller brush that is inexpensive. I dont care if its synthetic or real hair.

Omega 10019 boar brush. Under $10 and neat little brush. Available in a few colours. Hard to beat.
I like the Omega 10290 boar brush which is also under $10.
I’ve been using the RazoRock Snowman. It’s a super soft synthetic with backbone similar to a boar. Currently a round $10 at Italian barber

Simpsons Wee Scot is a (really) small badger brush that punches well above its weight! 
I was going to suggest this myself! This is definitely what I would get for this purpose!Simpsons Wee Scot is a (really) small badger brush that punches well above its weight!
Maggard black and white synthetic. The 22mm is $12.
Omega mixed Midget. $13.50 at WCS. Takes a couple weeks to soften.

I have an Omega 10086 Bigger Bambino boar with an 18mm knot and 42mm loft. Cost me $7.00 from Maggards and a great little brush once broken in. This is the same as the Bambino except with a longer handle that is easy to hold.

Thanks for all of the suggestions. I will start to look into each of the brushes.
I can vouch for this one too. Knot is 22x50, strong backbone. Small to the eye, but holds lather for 4 passes without problem.
I could also reccommend the Semogue 1470 (21x50mm knot).
Any of the omega boars will do.

Fumbling about.
Look on Connaught for this Omega Mighty Midget. Super brush. I added three #13 O-Rings just to jazz it up. The brush is excellent in all respects and gets better as you use it. Costs a fortune (about $7). Quite small but plenty big enough to do the job right. Loads of backbone and scrub. Softer and softer as you use it.
Happy shaves,
Jim
Omega 11047 is hard to beat in this category for the price.
try whippeddog
Omega 11047 mixed badger and boar $14.
I have two Yaqi 22mm synthetic brushes from WCS. On top of being small, they have a short loft. It gives more back next and better control. Makes a great little brush.
Believe I spent about $10-12?

Semogue 1470 has a 21mm knot and about the smallest knot that will suit your needs.
