Best synthetic brush for under 50 bucks? Wanted for travel when proper drying won't be possible with badger or boar.
Synthetic for travel

Frank Shaving synthetic custom. $25 delivered. Great brushes and will dry within 2-3 hours. Good luck.
I would recommend the Shea Moisture brush available at Target. It is serviceable although not glamorous, and is only $9 so if you lose it you're not out much.
It seems the only synthetics people have high regard for are from Muhle and Frank shaving.

Manufacture's site shows the SRP. Street price is below this.

personally I've had good results with the Body Shop brush, it's a little scritchy but lathers like a champ and it's only $13 in Canada. Dries quickly.
I don't travel that much, so it doesn't make a lot of sense to tie up a lot of $$$ in something that won't get used much.

Or maybe the custom frank
If that is what you are looking at....
This is where you will need to be looking for it

+1 Just got this for Christmas and have used it twice. No way I'd suspect it wasn't real badger if you didn't tell me EXCEPT that it dries so quickly. Great design. Perfect travel brush. It's replacing my wide Omega Mighty Midget (which takes TOO long to dry.)
Here's where mine was purchased.

+1 here. My FS is a brilliant brush
Muhle silvertip fibers, Omega Artificial badger or FS synthetic.
Of these, Muhle is my favorite. Omega is OK, and FS a bit more plasticcy in look and feel.
