I have a Semogue 1250 that is my absolute favourite value brush.

Another vote for the Semogue 1305, or the 1460.

My Omega 00065, $10.99 at Italian Barber. The jury is still out on my 1460. It's still too new.

Omega 10065-S Synthetic
Whipper Dog 24 mm. Synthetic

The Omega 10066 and 49 are both great values in boar. The Whipped Dog is a great value in synthetic. When it comes to badger brushes, I think the winner is the Vintage Blades 24mm Finest. This is a quality 2-band brush for $39.99. I don't know of anything else that even comes close.

Omega 10066. When I first started wet shaving I was researching brush after brush and at first I was convinced that badger was the only way to go but I was on a pretty strict budget so the only badger brushes I could afford were the cheap ones on Amazon and they didn't have great reviews and I didn't want to get something that wouldn't last. I was watching a video from Nick Shaves and he talked about how he loves his Omega 10066 so much and I started to look into boar. I found an Omega 10066 online for $6.99 plus shipping. I had bought some blades, soap and a blade bank from the same site to bundle for shipping purposes so I'm not too sure how much it was with shipping but it was very reasonable. I use this brush almost every shave. It's not just a great brush for the money, it's a great brush in general.

+1. Omega 10066 forever!

Real simple for me, Omega S-Brush...amazing value and an amazing brush!

Omega S-Brush gets my vote as well.

Very simple. Can't speak to Omega but the Semogue OC boar (($28 if you shop online) is by far and away the best boar value brush I own. If you want badger and are willing to spend some more - I've had great experiences with WSP brushes. Not at all in the same price category but for what you get they are great.

I have to agree that the Semogue Owners Club boar is hard to argue with when comparing performance to dollar amount. Omega also is one to consider, especially my two favorites - the 11126 and the 10098.

You can buy four Omega 10019 brushes for that price.

#2 on the Satin Tip synth for $15. I still love the Plisson Synth at $30, and I'm getting to like the 830 at $22, but so far the Satin Tip wins the value prize. Maybe I'll get an S-brush one day and see if that takes the cake.

Omega 49 or Omega S-Brush for synthetic

 

[Jnatcat]

Believe it or not I have a Sekine bristle that was NOS and when I opened it I thought WTH but it's got some fabulous backbone and performs superbly, paid like $13 for it

 

[Frugalshave]

Omega S brushes! For less than $10 they are amazing.

My favorite overall: Fine Angel Hair Synthetic

 

[BigJ]

Simpson's Special in Best. $40 from WCS, great badger brush for the $ IMO.

Omega S brushes! For less than $10 they are amazing.

+5 on the Omega S Brush. I like it so much I may get rid of my 10066.
