I jumped on today's Living Social deal, a $20 Amazon GC for $10. I have a Shaving Factory XS (Jaguar 236) that's starting to break-in nicely, but I'd like to try a Badger. I'd like to get something from Amazon, prefferably something that qualifies for Prime shipping, in the ~ $30 range. I exclusively bowl lather, usually Proraso creme but sometimes soaps or super-lather.
I'm mainly looking at the Edwin Jagger 89p16 Pure, or this Parker Pure. The latter gets far better Amazon reviews, is larger, and is heavier. That said, I know EJ has a much better name around these parts. Of these two, does anyone see a clear winner?
Which would you recommend? Is there something else in the $30ish range on Amazon I should consider? Or do I just need to step up to the EJ 1ej946sds Best for $42 and call it a day? I was originally leaning toward a LiJun, DeLong, or other eBay Finest or Silvertip, but the Amazon GC deal now has me looking toward a name brand Pure or Best... anyone want to comment on that choice one way or the other?
If I'm better of skipping Amazon all together for the brush, I'll just use the $20 GC on a Fisher Shuttle Grid Space Pen I've been eying.
Thanks in advance!
