Hi all. I've only ever used cheap boar bristle brushes (most expensive is Boots Men-U at <£10), and part of my shaving-related disorder has led me to think about getting a badger brush at Christmas.
I've never really been 'into' brushes (you can tell!) but some of that has to be because I don't know anything about them - especially badgers as the most popular by far.
If it's not rude to ask without contributing to it myself (at least until I know anything worth contributing), how about it? I imagined an introduction for someone like me (there must be others?) who are interested but know very little?
What is the loft? Is it the combined width of the bristles?
What difference does the size of the knot make?
What are the different types of badger hair? (I think I've heard 'pure', 'best', but what are the benefits of each?
I've seen badger brushes for £100+ and for £10 on Amazon (through the link on here).
Maybe some gratuitous shots of people's collections, too?
Does this sound ok?
