best brush for $20.00

what's the best brush for 20.00??,,, used for superlathering....thk u...

 

I would grab an Omega boar that appealed to you in that range.

 

My $9.00 Omega 49 is a lather monster as long as it's loaded with plenty of cream or soap.

 

--Vie Long has some excellent horse hair brushes at around $18.

Yup.

 

I use a #6 Horse hair from bestshave and it makes me enough lather for 4+ passes. Only two possible problems are bestshaves QC is kinda spotty and you'd need to spend ALOT less than $20.....

 

The Italian Barber Special Edition Semogue boar. It has The same grade of bristle as Semogue's SOC brushes.

 

+1 to that. I love mine. Another option is whipped dog. I think its a few dollars more than $20 but you can get a silvertip and they're excellent.

 

I just bought a brand new Semogue 1305, and I gotta say, I can't imagine anything coming close to beating it at that price point!

 

Another vote for Semogue here. Got the 1520 - excellent brush for low price.

 

Yanno, for about $5.00 more, you could re-knot a vintage / existing handle with a TGN Finest Badger Knot or for a little less, the TGN Synthetic Knot. Both are nice IMHO.

 

thks for the replys, i ended up buying 2 brush's to try, the omega 10029,, and the italian barber special edition!!!..

 

oops, I'm late. I would have told you an Omega 81230. I have one and it's great and it's only around 15 bucks.

 

Im addicted to shaving soap, cream, brush's, aftershave, DE, Razor's...and B&BW..<<.I bought 6 tubes of the c.o bigelow tonight..buy 2 get 1 free..got 3 free tubes,, i cant stop buying...HEELLLPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!

 

You're beyond help. It's too late.

 

Vintage blades 2 band badger it's around $30.00 to start but it's fantastic if you like soft gel like tips.

Yup, you're doin' it right! Welcome to level 2 of traditional wet shaving.

 

I've contacted the feds to see if they'll help with a treatment program and fund a halfway house for those who make it that far....maybe some kind of methadone.......

If you don't mind waiting a couple of weeks for shipping from China, you can get decent badger hair brushes from aceshaving for cheap.
