Got the itch for a new brush...looking for suggestions

[ChaoticBliss]

I've only ever used a Vulfix 660S brush and really I have no complaints with it but I have the itch to try something new.

Preferences:
- Bowl Lathering
- Small to Medium Size
- Would like something to be used more for soaps since the Vulfix works well with creams
- Not too floppy
- Not too concerned with handle size
- Something luxurious
- Budget $175

Thanks everyone

I was going to recommend a Simpsons Berkeley 46 until I saw that budget... nice work having a nice comfy brush allowance at your disposal!

(don't act jealous, don't act jealous...)

You would be happy with so many different brushes for the specs/ financial limit you posted. My top pics would be:

M&F blonde badger three band 22/52 mm knot- soft tips with good backbone
Thater 24/52 mm knot-pillow soft tips with decent backbone
Simspons 22/48 mm knot- A Chubby 1 super would be within your price range and would work well in the bowl and on the face.

Of course these are just a few of my favorites to recommend. Ymmv!

I'd check out one of these with that budget: http://www.promakeupbrush.com/shaving.html

I know nothing about them, but man are they SEXY!

Actually, I'd probably order a Semogue boar and save the $$...

An M&F with SuperBadger...as big as possible for 105Pounds...
