I was about to order a couple more boar brushes (SOC and Semogue 2000 ... and maybe an 830 ...), when I got to thinking that I should try a decent badger brush.
My first brush was a badger and it was terrible, very scratchy, just not a pleasure to use. But it was a really cheap one.
I really like my larger boar hair brushes from Omega (Pro 48 and Pro 49) for face lathering and am trying to get back into bowl lathering so I can use my Semogue 1250 more (which might be the opposite of many people). For face lathering I like a brush that holds a lot of lather.
The recent reviews of the Whipped Dog High Mountain 30mm have sparked my interest. I have a synthetic from WD and it's a great brush and Larry is awesome. I don't know how High Mountain compares to Best, Super and Silvertip, though.
Is there something else in that range that I should try instead?
Searching, I saw a ton of references to Simpson brushes, but don't know how they compare to what WD is offering. I also saw references to the RazoRock badgers, but no reviews. And I really don't know the better badger brush manufactures.
