which brush, badger or synthetic is better

Hi, just ordered a Stirling, so looking forward to it arriving.

Same here. I have really taken to synthetics in the last few months and the Stirling will be the largest of them.

Same here I just like the way they feel & work & the thought that they will last. I might be able to pass it on to my son.

Hi. Finally (after a delay in delivery) got my Stirling brush today . I see why it got its nickname long. Looking forward to using it in a couple of days. Will let you know what I think.

I used mine for the first time today. It's right up there with my Mühle XL. It's an outstanding value for sure.

Hi well I used my Stirling brush & this is a fantastic brush. It found it makes lathering easy & fast. It was soft on my face but not too soft. I liked it a lot its well worth the money, my only little gripe I mean little is the handle is a bit too big for me. Oh I must say compared to my Satin brush the Stirling has the edge but I find the Satin to have a more of a velvet feeling about it when I lather my face maybe its just me but I really like both brushes a lot.

I am currently switching between the Stirling and my EJ Silver Tip Badger to try to decide which I like best. What I've concluded is that I like both tremendously so I'll just keep switching it up everyday. I tried the smaller Stirling and because "Kong" seemed too big, but the smaller was too small.

I also tried the EJ Silver Tip Fibre and didn't care for it for some reason (it's for sale).

I would like to upgrade my brush to either a badger or a synthetic but not sure which to go for. If a badger brush then which one, pure,best & silver tip. If synthetic brush is there different type of synthetic. Any advice would be grateful. Thanks have a great day.

Now that you have tried a couple synthetics I belive its time for you to try badger. I suggest you go for the Semogue Owners Club 2-band badger brush.

Hi captain_hx funny you mentioned about trying a badger brush, my brother gave me a EJ super badger brush to day. He was told its a one off and a prototype (he works in London has a lot of contacts), its handle is designed to look like a cork in a champagne bottle. Here is a picture. I looked at the Semogue brush & its a lovely looking brush & a good price. Would you say  the Semogue is it better than a EJ badger.
