I'm currently using an Art Of Shaving Pure badger brush. I wouldn't say I need to replace it, but I would like to expand my brush options, at least with one additional brush.
I've had this for probably ten+ years, but only used it a handful of times up until discovering B&B and beginning to wet shave in December '21. I lose a bristle or two every shave, and it's got a nice chip in the handle, but the brush performs well for me.
I'm a shower shaver, and generally palm lather as face lathering tends to be irritating to my skin and I never seem to get enough hydration when face lathering.
Chubby 2 is gorgeous, but I'm hoping to stay with badger hair, and I'm not looking to spend so much $$. I imagine you folks have a head full of alternative options that will make me happy.
Please throw me some suggestions of an affordable badger brush, which will be similar (or better) in performance to this brush.
Thanks in advance for any help!
P.S. Another shape handle would be great too, as I have big hands, and find myself holding the very end of the handle with my finger tips, and it makes me feel like I'm throwing a "knuckle-ball".
