Ok so I used to own a brush. A REAL cheap one that came in a kit of REALLY cheap shaving product. Long story. Anyway, I enjoyed using a brush until it fell apart so much that not only was I shaving to cut the growth on my face, but to also remove an entire badger from my face after applying shaving cream. So that all aside I want to get a REAL shaving brush. I know a lot of you have a brush for every cream and soap and every day of the week but im not that rich yet. I don't want to have to go broke on a brush. I like face lathering and lately, due to lack of brush, just use my hand. I also like the appeal of trying some soaps and currently use EJ cream. I guess what I am looking for is a great badger brush that will last, lather up great, work with soaps, creams and face lathering, but not cost a lot. If possible I would like one under $100. My wife would appreciate it also.
I have been doing a lot of reading and I have been seeing a lot about the Roony 3/1, Simpson Duke 2 Best, Simpson Colonel X2L, and even read the Brush Chronicles and caught a great review on my favorite brand, Edwin Jagger, about their Silver Tip brush which is just a little out of my budget despite how bad I would love to have it. So I ask this. Out of the other listed brushes what would work best as a great all around brush? Maybe none of them, so what brush would you recommend for me that would fit the bill?
Thank you all again for the help
