If you had to pick only one badger brush!

[Smooth and Sharp]

Today I want to know what youve learned from your mileage with badger brushes. I see lot of den pictures with lot of nice brushes. Wondering if they are all still getting used or only one is.

I have synthetic and boar brushes already. Im ready for badger but I dont want to buy a pure then want a best then want a silvertip.... Trying to buy things I will use. Im looking to get one around a 100cad/ 75us brush. Saw a high mountain brush at 100$ on fendrihan that is looking nice but I prefer your experience to help me chose.
Thanks all

For a $75 dollar/$100 CAD budget, the best bang for your buck would probably be a Maggards SHD (Super High Density) Badger brush. Phenomenal value.

I think Yaqi & Frank Shaving's two band Badger fall into that price range, too, also mostly positive reviews.

"The one" would be one of these two, it doesn't really matter which, honestly.

This is way above your quoted price point though, but then again, these brushes are packed with probably twice as much bristle, so we'll worth it.

Whats wrtitten on the right one?

 

[Stubblebum]

It seems you are asking two distinct questions...
1. "What brush do you use?"
2. "What brush should I use?"
To answer the latter requires much more information than you've provided.

If I had to buy only one, which one should I buy for that price. Thanks

With your budget I would strongly advise you to take a look at "Zenith" Silvertip brushes - "Zenith" is an Italian brush-maker that produces high-quality brushes that are simply wonderful for their price.

I'm guessing as you like synthetics and boar, you want something soft? I'm like you and have recently tried two badgers which felt like rubbing sand paper on my face. A Simpsons in Best and a Simpsons 2 band silvertip. I'll stick with my synths and boars.

You need to state what you want a badger to feel like though.

Any Simpson brush imo
the only badger brushes I have kept are from Simpson, once you try them, every other badger brush seems inferior imo.

Thanks its what I meant by experience, I thought badger brushes were all soft so yeah Im looking for something soft.

There may well be badgers as soft as synthetics and boars but my two are not even close. Whether that's good or bad depends on what you want.

I am still looking, but I wouldn’t buy another pure badger.

At this stage I wouldn't even bother with a "Pure Badger." I really like the Shavemac 2 band silvertip. It's got everything I want from a shaving brush. I prefer badgers over all other brushes.

Thanks but seems over my budget from what I see on their website

This AM I lathered up my trusty Simpsons Duke 2 in best badger!!

That would be a fine choice IMHO!!

I have heard really good things about Maggards SHD (Super High Density). Or you could also look at Yaqi or DSCosmetic. Be mindful of the hair type you are getting, they are in different grades.

 

[never-stop-learning]

Your stated budget is $75US.

Maybe one of the Yaqi Silvertip badgers? Not my favorite badger brushes, though.

The @BigJ choice of the Simpsons Duke 2 in best badger is very good.

Personally, though, I would contact @Rudy Vey and have Rudy put together a badger brush that will meet your requirements. It will cost more than $75US but will be a brush that you will use with pleasure for many, many years.


Just my opinion.

 

[Cumberland Sausage]

At that price point my pick would be the Semogue Owners Club 2 band badger. It's a great quality knot for the price, with decent backbone yet soft tips, and I also like the wooden handle.

 

[Marco]

My #1 pick is the Simpson Chubby 1 Super.

There's a 2 band silvertip shavemac w/ Rudy Vey Handle in BST if it hasn't sold already for $75.

FS - Simpsons, Rudy Vey Shaving Brushes, Gillette Heritage, UFO U2 DE Handle, etc.
