Folks, Here are what I call my little brushes. Do not let the size scare you away. Each is a pleasure to use and work equally well with hard/soft soaps and creams. My favorite way to lather with these brushes is to rub a stick such as La Toja or Lea on my beard and then face lather. All three feel wonderful and make enough lather for a 3-pass shave.

The one pictured is inexpensive and very nice to use.
I am finding the size of the brush is less important than a balanced backbone. The brushes look great, especially the one in the middle. Sent via mobile - Chris
I also have three brushes I love ; badger, horse and a synthetic. The horse brush will be at or near the top if you buy on someones recommendation, as many lack backbone.
That is a nice little trio you have there. I have a Duke 1 that I like the Hell out of, but it is about as small as I see myself going by choice. My old man has a mixed midget he doesn't use all that much and says I should try. Been meaning to take him up on it.
