I recently got into wet shaving and have spent some money getting new soaps, brushes and razors. I spent money on good soaps and razors but the brushes I have are 2 Yaqi brushes (one synthetic and one badger) both of which were around $30. Its not that I don't think a brush is important, I just don't understand enough about them.
I am genuinely curious what a new brush adds to the shaving experience. Outside of the aesthetic value of the beautiful handles, can someone please explain what all can the expensive brush add? I totally get that a lot of us have shaving as a hobby and that is a very valid reason (in my eyes) to splurge on expensive brushes as well. So whatever the reason may be, I would be interested in learning.
