What are your opinions ?
Here are mine :
-Boar : Semogue 1250. Same bristles as the 1305 : that means , soft tips when used over 10 times and good amount of flow/firmness of knot.Also , you wont have to worry about chipping the handle paint , unlike the 1305.
-Synthetic : Plisson L'Occitane.But its hard to find these days and some new synthetics offerings have come out , like the Sterling or the RR shaving brush , which seems serious competitors , with lower prices and more available/easy to get.
-Badger : tough here.I will never recommend pure badger or black badger (I will go for boar if you prefer a prickly brush).There are some good super/silvertip badger brushes out there , as well as two bands. WSP offers good two band hair brushes , as well as other Chinese companies that you can find on Ebay (but buying from a Chinese company could be a lottery too).In the case that you prefer a more soft brush , I will go for a Simpson Colonel (around 60 something dollars).
