2 band badger with a nice wooden handle does it for me. In the winter when it's next to impossible to keep it dry, I use a synthetic. Great video Eric.
Kypros you've got a good system between warm weather and winter, nice! Thanks for your great comment and thanks for watching! :) Have a good weekend and take care, my friend! :) #Heart
Great video! Very nice brushes there Eric. I too have tried very cheap to very expensive brushes with 2 band badger gel tips but honestly for me a good boar brush is the best. Once they are broken in nothing else can beat em! Thank you my friend for all the great videos and information. Have a blessed and enjoyable weekend brother!
Martin you're so right a good boar brush that's broken in well is fantastic! ;) Just like my King Brush! Thanks so much for everything my friend! Thanks for your great comment and encouragement, and thanks for watching! :) Take care and have a blessed and enjoyable weekend brother! :) #Heart
George the King Brushes are the best of both worlds with a fantastic Boar Knot! ;) Yeah Buddy! Thanks for your great comment and thanks for watching! :) Take care and have a good weekend, my friend! :) #Heart
It's a wonderful history on how you progressed in finding your favorite brush, Eric! I have 7 brushes with another custom badger along the way. I have 2 badgers, 2 boars and 3 synthetics. Currently, my favorite brush is a replica of a C-Mon handle with Super high density badger knot from Heritsge Collection. It looks gorgeous and it matches the scales of my 2 vintage C-Mon razors as well as some of my other straights.
Joseph you have a very nice brush collection with a great assortment of knots! ;) Yeah Buddy! Thanks for your great comment and encouragement, and thanks for watching! :) Take care and have a good weekend my friend! :) #Heart
Very nice! My search ended when I discovered synthetic brushes specifically PAA's Starcraft synthetic line. I currently have their Roswell 24mm synthetic. Back when I started, synthetic brushes were terrible. They have come a really long way in the last 6 years.
Stephen your PAA Starcraft Roswell 24mm synthetic knot is a winner! ;) Yeah Buddy! Thanks for your great comment and encouragement, and thanks for watching! :) Have good weekend and take care, my friend! :) #Heart
Yeah, Dave both synthetic brushes I have are fantastic lather machines with great performance! ;) Thanks for your great comment and encouragement, and thanks for watching! :) Take care and have a good weekend my friend! :) #Heart
My Shavemack 26mm badger bulp is my favourite, because it can hold more soap than my boar brushes. I use the boar brushes for traveling because the dry faster. I'm considering a synthetic for that purpose.
Mikael your Shavemack 26mm badger sounds like a very nice shave brush! ;) Yeah Buddy! I believe you'll like a synthetic for traveling. Thanks for your great comment and thanks for watching! :) Have a good weekend and take care, my friend! :) #Heart
Jill try breaking in your Semogue 1305 again, they take a lot of time ;) The Omega 10098 is one of my favorite all time brushes! Thanks for your great comment and thanks for watching! :) Take care and have a good weekend my friend! :) #Heart
Steven, if you could only have one shaving brush... what would you pick? Check out the brush! Thanks for your great comment and encouragement, and thanks for watching! :) Have a good weekend and take care, my friend! :) #Heart
my Simpson T3 Trafalgar is the best brush on the market today it's like buying a $200 badger hair brush, no cleaning the brush, no need for a brush stand, fast drying time, well not fall apart like a badger hair can, cheap to buy, i have owned it for 5 years with know problems wheelchair Larry
Great video Eric! My favorite brush is a badger from West Coast Shaving and can be had for around 30 bucks. Second to that is my Omega boar brush. Some people like synthetics but I have one and didn't like it. May get a few more boar brushes at some point. Keep up the fine work.
Nicholas that's a great price for a badger brush! ;) West Coast Shaving has some good deals! Yeah Buddy! My Omega 10098 is my second favorite :) I made both of my synthetic brushes and set the knot deep enough to get them some backbone. Thanks for your great comment and encouragement, and thanks for watching! :) Have a good week and take care my friend! :) #Heart
Great #SREFS Eric! If I could have only one Brush. Even though I'm really liking the BLADE Boar Brush I picked up, Hands Down my pick is my Maggard Synthetic Brush! Eric have a Great Day & Good Weekend My Friend!
Jody it's hard to beat Your Maggard 22mm Synthetic Brush! ;) Yeah Buddy! Thanks for your great comment and encouragement, and tahnks for watching! I hope Your having a Good Weekend! Have a Great Day and Take Care My Friend! :) #Heart
Great question Theophilus! ;) I believe it was in the $70 to $100 USD range, but you can email Eric at King Brush to find out exactly how much using kngbrush@gmail.com Thanks for your great comment and thanks for watching! :) Have a good day, take care and stay safe my friend! :) #Heart
There is a reason badger is more expensive than boar. Its superior in every way possible. Badger holds water and heat in the bristles and creates a lather quicker and easier than boar. Badger is softer on your face as well, if you like softer bristles. Some Men prefer the scratchiness of a boar brush but, in my humble opinion, if you prefer a scratchy brush its because you are doing more than applying lather to shave with. You are exfoliating, which is why it feels good. So maybe go with a badger brush for the superior qualities and exfoliate your face on the side. It would probably feel better than using the boar brush anyways!
Some good points, Matt! ;) Yeah, Buddy I have a good badger brush that I can do some testing with! I'll give it a go! Thanks so much for your great comment and thanks for watching! :) Have a good day, take care and stay safe my friend! :) #Heart
@@AdventuresInWetShaving no worries! Great video, just wanted to point that out. I started with boar brushes because of the friendlier cost, but once I switched I never looked back!
A single brush is not going to do at all. If i have a week's worth of beard to shave then i'll be using a scuttle and a lather hog like the 10098. But if i am only shaving 2 day's worth off then it depends on how much time i have - if it's a weekday then i'll use a synthetic, otherwise one of my fleet of 10083's. i find a 26mm knot just fine. i may even face lather then. Usually my brush doesn't have to hold enough lather for 3 passes because it sits in a scuttle, so i might use a badger just for the softness and luxury or a boar for the backbone to really work the soap into my face. i have 8 brushes - 3 are synthetic, 4 are well-broken in boar hair and one is a silvertip badger, which imo doesn't justify the price and i'd not buy again! T
Great review and explanation when you use your brush T! ;) Yeah Buddy! It's really good to have some different brushes to pick from depending on the day and how much time you have if shave. Thanks for your great comment and thanks for watching! :) Take care and have a good weekend my friend! :) #Heart

Nice video Eric, I was wondering whether you would choose a synthetic, but that boar looks beautifully broken in, great choice 😌👍

I can't get my Semogue 1305 to work well for me even after a long time. I have that 10098 Omega and love it.

Very informative. Interesting choices, might look up that boar, it looks like a geltip boar.
