Similar Brushes?

[ckang79]

My current brush lineup consists of a B&B Essential Boar, EJ Medium Silvertip, and a Simpson Case in Best. I face lather using hard soaps exclusively and don't like a lot of scritch. A few I had in mind but would like opinions whether they might be TOO similar to the ones I already have are:

Semogue SE 2012 or 620 (similar to B&B Essential?)

Rooney 3/1 Silvertip (similar to EJ Silvertip?)

Simpson Berkeley in Best (similar to Simpson Case?)

Or I really like the way finest badger feels and any recommendations on a good brush under $100 would be appreciated as well.

I would check out the Da Vinci 293. If you get lucky you can get it at your price point. It really is a outstanding brush. I got mine a few months ago at Wm Neumann for $99.

I am also looking at the 2-band Monarch from WSP. It is in my price point and a finest knot.

I picked up the Prince in 2-band a while back. Great brush, a little stiff at first but broke in nicely. Good backbone, soft tips, great for face lathering!
