All three of my boars excel in face lathering, Semogue 2000 (high loft,densely packed), 1993(short loft, medium pack) and an Omega 11575(medium loft low-medium pack). I use the Omega the most and I got it for about $12 shipped from WCS. It broke in quick (a while ago) and my badgers are still in plastic wrap from my recent move.
