Next brush to buy?

[DigJazz]

So I'm looking at upgrading to a nice silvertip brush. The brushes I have in my collection are a VDH boar hair (which sucks), an AoS pure badger and a Simpsons commodore x2. I really enjoy the simpsons but I wouldn't mind something a little bigger. (or would I? what are the advantages and drawbacks to a brush bigger than 90mm?, what are the advantages and drawbacks to a 90mm?)

I love love love being able to get the best lather ever, it makes me feel like I'm a king or something haha. I would like a soft brush, but I don't need the softest ever. I have looked at a Kent, a Muehle sofist and an EJ.

What can anybody recommend? Thanks for the input!

Sorry, I guess, the X2 is 95 mm

Drawbacks at larger loft is more flop and a little harder to face lather

I would recommend a Shavemac D01 3 band or Thater 4125 3 band

Do you have a price in mind? That will help narrow it down

Might be a horse hair brush.

Any price, really, within reason. Up to 200, 250.

I'll be interested to see the responses as I am in somewhat the same mode, although my price limit is about $140. My shortlist is Shavemac 23mm in silvertip (#25 maybe) or M&F (looks like a Rooney 1/2). Sorry for not looking up the exact model numbers. Thought about the Kent BK4 or BK8 as those that have them and post comments really seem to like them. But I'm thinking of the Kents as a good "indulgence" brush, but not an everyday workhorse brush.

Good luck.
