Travel Brushes

[r0ckrat]

I'm really happy with my Shavemac 19mm Silvertip for a travel brush and/or face-lathering in the morning. Very soft and luxurious. My wife bought it for me many years ago at one of the local mall knife-store chains.

And what about the l'occitane travel boar brush? It seems nice

I looked at one and even if I got it for free I wouldnt use it. It looks cool, but when you see it in the flesh it feels cheap, and I would be surprised if those bristles could make any lather at all

You can always reknot it

For traveling, I've been actually thinking of getting just the knot and use it as a brush.

I picked up the L'Occitane synthetic travel brush and hated it. The bristles were far too stiff for me, and the lather was, ummm, subpar.

I just purchased and did a review on the Simpson's Berkeley #46 PB brush. It can be had in BB for another $12. This brush is exactly what I was looking for. Though not a designated travel brush it works perfectly as one. I have the travel tube that's sold with the Simpson's Case brush in the mail straight from Vulfix. The size of the brush really works for me as I am used to smaller brushes. I didn't want a teeny-tiny brush like the Case because I will be using this brush at work for 3 or more days a week. Great versatile brush that works really good with soaps and creme's.

I use an Edwin Jagger Pure Badger travel brush or a Simpsons Wee Scot. Both are great brushes. The EJ is floppy, but I have no trouble using it to face lather. The WS is tiny but one of my favorite brushes. It's firmer than the EJ travel. I agree with getting a pill bottle from the pharmacy and using whatever brush you like.

Thanks for the replies. I bought the Trumper, mainly because a local shop had it on hand so I could take a look in person and a colleague of mine recommended it as well

I'm happy with my Super Badger travel brush from Taylor oOBS. Here's a tip: before stowing your brush away, dry it (and your toothbrush) with the hotel's hair dryer.
