Next brush: Looking for opinions.

Hi guys,

Next month I'm going to be purchasing a better Badger brush than what I have (cheap Escali badger brush - STINKS BAD).

I think this one fits into my price point and quality wishes:

Any other recommendations?

Thanks

What's your budget? Do you face lather or bowl lather?

 

[chrisf8657]

$40-50 max. I start whipping it up on the soap puck then proceed to lather it on my face.

That'd be my vote. For the money you can't do much better than a Simpson in Best, I heard the Berkley makes a great face latherer, too.

(Hence the suggestion) Good luck and welcome to B&B!

+ 1 on Simpsons Berkeley 46 in Best.

Not thought about boar then? I can highly recomend the B&B essential if that helps.

I hate to sound like a broken record but take a look at the Vintage Blades brand brushes. They are 2 band badger and fall under your price.

Take a look at the Vulfix line. IMHO they are some of the best out there.

That is a great brush for your first upgrade. In fact, when I did my first upgrade it was one of the three I got. The other two were an Omega boar and EJ Silvertip. I use the EJ Best more than the other two.
