I'm using a 4 buck boar brush, definitely not perfect, but learning my form before I get spendy.
Just another quick poll

Rgr that ;-)
I chose badger, because I use a badger with creams, and I use creams about 80% of the time lately. I do use my Omega boar with hard soaps and croaps more often than not.
I've sold all my boar brushes.
Only badger brushes for me at the present time.
All of the badger brushes I have left are my "go to brushes"

Horse brushes, anyone, where would you get one and what do they cost?
Boar, but fond of my pure badgers of late.
I've seen a few online vendors sell horse brushes for very reasonable prices.
I got mine from Bullgoose http://www.bullgooseshaving.net/vibubeinnaho.html. There are several other sources for horsehair brushes including some popular ones from Turkey which would make them turkeyhair brushes I suppose. Seriously, I'm very impressed with the quality and performance of my Vie-Long brush and am hoping to add another, different VL brush to the 'stable'.

Great, though i just read a pretty convincing article about some of the modern synthetics, wish i had included that option in the poll!
Gifta&Care in Spain has a good range of Vie-Long horsehair brushes, and international shipping is fast...

I've bever used a boar or horse hair brush. Pretty happy with the two badger hair brushes I have.
my go to is a fourth option - a synthentic
Semogue 1305 for me. Not the 'best' brush I own, that's a badger, but probably my favourite and most versatile.
Almost always a badger brush for me. I've got a great, cheap silvertip that copes well with the hard soaps too.
Until the middle of last year, the answer would have been badger but then that evil Foyle came along and now the answer is boar.
Tough call. My favorite brush is a badger but numbers 2 and 3 are probably my boars.
