The first shaving brush I bought was from Amazon, a Simply Beautiful badger hair, with a chrome handle. I like it, and later bought their silver tip version. I never see anything about that brand at B&B. Is there a reason?
I bought a pure badger brush with a chrome handle from Simply Beautiful as well. It was my first brush which I bought before finding B&B. It's a nice enough brush for the price. I like the chrome handle. Since then, I've found that there are better bargains to be found though. I highly recommend a Vintage Blades 2-band badger brush for about the same price. The VB brushes are so nice for the price.
