My Merkur HD is on its way so now for a brush!

[dax702]

Hi, I'd like to purchase an inexpensive shaving brush as a newbie to wet shaving. I'm Italian and Greek and my beard is like sandpaper when it grows in. It grows down on my face and several diff directions on my neck..
what are some good brushes for my beard type that I described based on your experience?
Thanks,
Mike

Question: who is Edwin Jagger ? ?
Also - do I have to buy that brush on that site or is it available elsewhere?

You can buy the brush online or at a C&E store near your area.

I totally agree. That brush is awesome. I just got one at the C&E store at a nearby mall. My shaves seem even closer than when using a silver tip brush. I love the way it feels. And for $35!! Actually I got a tube of the almond cream and the brush which came to $50 even and then got $10 off.

I believe it's Mick's brother. He didn't have any musical talent, but he did have a flair for men's fashions!
