I've been wet shaving for over a year now and have resisted the temptation of buying a nice silver tip badger brush thus far. However, my luck would have it that my fiance has offered to buy me a brush of my choice (I hope to keep it under $300) as a wedding present. As you can imagine, I am absolutely thrilled The size of the Kent BK12 is just what I'm looking for. The Rooney 3/3 and Simpson Polo 12 are also options. What would you guys suggest?
