I have $40 for a brush. I was considering the Edwin Jagger Best Badger and the Frank Shaving finest but I am open to other options.
Any insight?

Kingsley #28 badger, a UK-made brush for $22.31 on Amazon.
I keep the Veg in Vegetal.
Are you considering Badger and/or Boar? I love my Semogue 1305 boar, which is under $30.

Vie-Long 1361. Takes on soaps and creams, is as soft as anything I've felt so far, and looks fantastic. The only drawback is the smell which fades pretty quickly. WELL worth the money, I'd buy a second even.
Frank shaving hands down great value soft tips not floppy at all. Make sure you get the finest not silvertip though. I have the flatop fan which is really nice and 3 others. They are all great values.

On badgers I'd invest on a small Simpsons in Best: Berkeley 46, Case or Special. On boars any Semogue.

horse from vie long and a semogue for boar should be able to do both for around $40
Check out Penworks.
Here's a nice two band
Here's a silvertip
Or you can go to thegoldennib.com (same company) and put together your own brush for close to your price range.

Semogue 1250 Boar for under $20 shipped @ traditionalshaving.com
For badger, I'd probably go with one of the cheaper Simpsons "best badger" models. Pure badger is very scratchy stuff IME, I wouldn't waste $ on it unless you really like scratchy brushes.

I have a Vulvix 660 in Super and LOVE it! Omega has got so many models under 40$ also, but I can't speak about the quality of their badger, I have only boar with them.

Any Semogue! or if you want badger toss in another $5 and get a Simpsons Berkley.
