I don't know if any of you gents have tried their very inexpensive brush, but I am very impressed with it after a week of daily use. Anyone have an opinion of this brush?
It was my first brush. I found several other brushes, some cheaper, that worked better for me. If you like soft synthetics, the Muhle silvertip fiber is very nice.
I ended up going to boar brushes.
So that you and others may learn from my stupidity, make sure to shake/gently squeeze the water out of the brush before putting it away to dry. I splintered my handle from water damage on that brush.
I want to get the Muhle 106 brush to match my R106 razor. Is the soft synthetic brush similar to the consistency of a badger brush? I really like the texture.
I find the Body Shop brush great for travelling. It cleans easily and dries quickly.
It's second generation synthetic I believe so it feels good on the face but requires a different technique from my boars, horse and badger. It acts more like a hairy spoon for adding water and whisking lather, but it never really becomes wet in the way that naturals do
