Looking for a budget brush in the UK

[firestarter]

Hi all,

Long time lurker who has already had an EJ DE89L with Astra Platinums for a while and I am using:
this soap (in a mug) http://www.shaving-shack.com/the-bluebeards-revenge-wool-fat-shaving-soap-refill-120g.html

I also picked up this brush as a free gift when ordering a while back:
http://www.shaving-shack.com/the-bluebeards-revenge-dubloon-bristle-shaving-brush.html

I really don't get on much with the brush as it is quite stiff and the bristles seem to come off when it is used.

Can anyone recommend a decent rush that won't break the bank available in the UK? I have done some searching and people seem to suggest Semogue/Omega but I am really struggling! Budget is around £15.

Thanks.

Look no further, Semogue 1305. Within budget, and a AAA performer.

Semogue 1305 or 830

You can find the Pure badger version of the bluebeards revenge for around £15-£20 online or in retail also if you look on their website for locations, it was my first brush and i found it pretty good.

You might also consider Britian's oldest ally, Portugal. Chech out Vie-Long horsehair brushes. I've had one in almost daily use since Christmas and I love it. I got mine from a US retailer but they have a Portugese site. http://www.giftsandcare.com/en/88-horse-shaving-brushes

Try connaughts, he's had an OMega brush sale for a few weeks now, good postage and great service. I can highly recomend the Omega number 36 boar,

The basic Culmak brushes from a drugstore are decent for the price

You could get this lijun http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LIJUN-SHAVING-Finest-Badger-Hair-Shaving-Brush-Faux-Ebony-Handle-22mm-knot-/320891739934?pt=UK_Health_HairRemoval_RL&hash=item4ab6a35f1e it will cost you around £13 pending on currency conversion at the time and they are decent brushes for the money only downside is having to wait a few weeks...

Very good shout. I can't believe I didn't mention the Lijun. That or Semogue 1305, you can't go wrong.

A Vulfix 660 Super badger from diamond edge. It's gone up in price recently but at £19 delivered it's still a great deal.

Edit: it's £2 cheaper direct from them.http://diamondedgeltd.com/acatalog/Shaving-Shop.html
