C&E Best Badger Small Brush or A Muehle?

I'm strongly considering the C&E Best Badger Small Brush, but a local retailer carries Muehle brushes.

For a Muehle brush at a similar price point, am I gaining anything or should I just go with the C&E Brush?

 

Are Muehle brushes made from mule? :signs002

 

The Badger Shaving Brush, or something in that price range.

 

The Muehle you linked looks to be a 'pure' badger, so the tips may be a bit harsher than the 'best' from C&E.

That said, Muehle supplies Edwin-Jagger, who makes the brush for Crabtree-Evelyn, so may not be a lot of difference either way.

Best of luck.

For whatever reason, the C&E brush gets a LOT of good press (perfect starter brush...great little brush...don't leave home without it...etc.) while I see very little about the Muehle. Maybe that means something, maybe not, but since I prefer the more traditional look of the C&E, that would be my choice.

 

Thanks.

I think I will go with the C&E Brush.

 

If your looking to mix it up, also in that price point would be the vulfix 849.

I've been using it for about a year now and absolutely love it. Plus you can order a nice cream from classic shaving when you order your brush.
