Want a second/travel brush

[Luzen]

Hi there!

I´m looking for att travel brush/second brush that i can use with the Muhle travel tube.

when i travel i like to face lather with Palmolive stick.

My present brush is a silvertip "private label" and want a complement.

I mostly use soaps.
I don´t wanna pay more than $20.
Maybe a boar...?

Tnx in advance!

Check with Emily at Em's Place. [email protected]

They have some boar brushes for around your price range.


Drop the emily off of that site, it won't let you through. Just use www.emsplace.com

Boars aren't that good for "travel brushes" because they take so long to dry out.

I'd say go for a boar brush. I just bought my cousin an Omega 10275 from WCS for about 10 bucks. I went ahead and started prepping it for him and after a lather or two, it only took a couple of hours to completely dry. In fact, it dries a lot quicker than my Rooney 3/1 super. I actually contemplated keeping it, but got myself a 81052 instead. And for size reference, it's the same size as a Rooney 3/1, and the plastic handle makes it really light.

Iwas just looking att the Omega 81052 at WCS. It looks nice and are very cheap. I hope its good for face lathering..?

I love the way my 81052 lathers. I've used it with my Speick stick and it feels great on my face. It has definitely broken in a lot quicker than the 10275 I prepped for my cousin, but it's still dense enough to massacre any soap I throw at it. Lately I've been using creams with it, and it still lathers like a dream. The only negative thing about it, in my opinion, is the light plastic handle. It really doesn't have a lot of heft to it, but the handle has great comfortable contours for a good grip. Then again my SBAD has kicked in and now I'm looking at the 31025 which has a hefty resin handle and a higher loft than the 81052. I don't think you can go wrong with any of these Omegas

Shoeboxshaveshop sells an Omega boar travel brush. I think it is $14. That would be my choice for the money.

I have personally never understood these travel brush posts. I travel alot, all over the place, be it inter state or the otherside of the world I take two brushes out of my stash. Why use something different to what you would use at home?

You might want to look into a Nylon brush. The 2 main benefits for traveling are that they are typically low end, inexpensive brushes so if you forget and leave it behind it is not a big $ loss; and second since it is nylon it will dry out faster.

I use something like this as my travel brush

Which can be found here:
http://www.ecrater.com/product.php?pid=5731706 though I think the price posted there is a little high.
To be clear this is utilitarian brush, the bristles are very floppy but after 5 or 6 swirls a good lather will start to build. When traveling I take a tube of shaving cream and squirt enough to cover the tips, so it is very easy to use. The brush is so floppy that I thought it would not work on soaps, but I tried MWF once and it built a later fine, I think it was due to the way the tips more easily scratch the surface of the soap cake which compensated for their flop.

Tweezerman?

Agreed... it's good enough to be used as a regular brush by many (I still use mine even though I have a Rooney)...

It fits perfectly in one of those tall Medco white pill bottles, too.

Personally I usually just toss a brush in my kit too, but to each his own.

That being said I do have a Wee Scot on the way...

I just need an adeqvat brush which is medium or small, suitable for face lathering and quite cheap.
