Yes Another WBSIG Question.

[Gatorjon]

I have a bit of a problem because I am very unhappy with my current brush (it fell apart) and want to replace it. I have no access to any store other than AOS so I can't go and see first hand what I would like. I can only afford to order one online. I'll list exactly what I'm looking for in the hopes that you guys can give me some informed suggestions.

1. costs around $80/£52 or less
2. used almost exclusively with soaps
3. bowl lathering, never on face
4. bulb shape
5. don't care what grade of badger as long as it meets the above criteria.

Thanks in advance guys.

Hard to go wrong with Shavemac finest. Great all-around brush. Regrads, Bradley

I recently bought a Simpsons Duke 2 in Best Badger from Badger and Hone who have a special offer to B+B Members until the end of August. IIRC the brush was £42 and it is fantastic.

Thank you guys for the suggestions. I did some research on the 3 brushes and it was a close tie between the Duke and the Shavemac. Unfortunately Badger and Hone was sold out of the Duke so I am happy to say I ordered a Shavemac 177 23mil finest from WCS.

I truly cannot imagine you'll be disappointed. Shavemac was at the top of my list when I saw your specs. I love mine.
