New Boar Brush Wanna Be User

Not had a lot of experience with boar brushes, just a cheap Omega and Burma Shave one, but would like to delve into boars a bit more.  But I really have no idea where to start as there are so many brands/models available.  How does one know where to start or is it just by chance that you get a good one right away?

Do I need to spend a lot or are there more moderately priced ones that will work well and for a long time.  I do have a limited budget as a retired military guy

Any help will be appreciated

Enjoy those shaves folks

What do you find lacking in the "cheap Omega and Burma Shave one"? Do you want girly soft or manly firm? Most boar lovers like plenty of backbone and some scrub and scritch, but we need to know what you're looking for.


Actually I like the Burma Shave boar.  It has a small knot that causes me to have to go back to the soap for a second pass and that's a little annoying.  The Omega, though well broken in just isn't to my liking.  Works fine and I do use it, just not a favorite.

What size brush are you looking for, something on the smaller end or more like a 26-28mm?

Size? 24 - 26 with a loft of 55 - 57 ish.  Recently got a Zenith B10 that I'm breaking in and waiting on a Semogue Galahad.
