Hey guys,
I'm in the market for a new brush. Seems mice like to chew these up.
Any suggestions?

It could be either. What color are the bristles on the brush? This helps determine quailty.dubhdarra":qwp27lkf said:sort of related question, i can't get a decent lather going, could it be that i have an insanely cheap POS boar bristle or is it more likely my soap or technique? total noob to shaving, at this point it is actually easier for me to make a straight razor than to use one...
I think that having a good Badger brush is a must, I have a boars hair at my beach house, not even close to my Trufitt and Hill Silver tip badger brush, I also think cream is the way to go, I agree with Carlos, a pea size of cream makes enough lather to shave three or more passes. I use boar and soap at beach and it will be replaced soon.Carlos":8b1e1bf7 said:I think that boar brushes, being stiffer, dig into bar soaps more. Makes it a little harder to whip up a nice later in the mug. That's why some fellows make the lather on their faces after getting the brush loaded with soap and a bit of water.
My badger brush makes a nice lather from any bar soap. But really makes a super silky and rich later with creams. Just a large pea sized amount makes more than I need.
Something else I like to do is set the mug into the sink of scalding hot water to warm it well while I hold a wet and hot towel to my beard for a few minutes. Mugs with bar soap I will actually immerse in the hot water completely to help warm the bar soap also. Then drain. Makes for a nice warm lather when you whip it up.
