22-24mm, 2 or 3 band badger, good backbone, $75-175, for soap or cream, shape? H

I am new to the forum so "hello" to everyone.

I ended up here just a couple of days ago looking for information because I am looking for a new brush.

What I want is a good quality brush from a reputable maker with some general specifications:

badger
22mm-23-mm
2 or 3 band
bulb (never tried a fan)
good backbone to use with soap or cream
$100-$175


Thanks for your help.

Shavemac, Simpson, Thater, Semogue are some brands that immediately come to mind. The other option is to have a brush made from one of the vendors or hobbyist here on B&B.

The Shavemac 2 band silvertip is a fantastic knot... http://www.shavemac.com/products/Experts/Shaving-Brush-EXPERTS-SELECT.html

Check out Simpson's Chubby 2 in best badger. Actually that knot is a bit bigger than your specs. Look at Chubby 1. You might even get that in Superbadger within your budget. Especially if you visited Pasteur Pharmacy in NYC and mentioned B&B.

Shavemac two band.
