Please advise the brand, the size, style, handles & preferred hair type.

I agree with @NeilJ regards Shavemac and SV. I think Simpson brushes are available in a few places already.

What about some of the Chinese manufacturers - I imagine there's a number of people who don't want to use AliExpress and/or wait for the packages to arrive from there. Yaqi, Boti and Oumo perhaps?

I would love to see more lathe turned resin handle brushes available in the UK. Synthetic knots only for me though.

I'm probably going to get my shedding Simpson reknotted in the original best badger by the mothership. But that might be my last badger. Although Chris's point about Oumo and Boti is a good one. A UK stockist of those might be good.

Didn't I get my Semogue from you guys? Great brush.
I voted Kent because I can imagine that fits well with your down to earth artisan kind of assortment.

Boti
Oumo

I’d say these 4 are some great ones (not all tested personally) and probably worth stocking.

Considering you already stock Semogue boars, could it make sense to stock their badgers as well?

Also, I like the unbleached Zenith boar brushes, I know some are very enthusiastic about their badger brushes as well. They seem to have few retailers in comparison to some other brands.

Kent is still doing badger brushes? I thought it switched to synthetic only.

 

[hotmetal]

Hmm the only natural brushes Kent do now are "badger effect bristle". No badger any more. If I want boar I prefer one that isn't pretending to be badger.

Kent have some BLK2 in best left, but that is all. I can add Semogue badger next order & I have tried to contact Zennith, no luck so far.
Shavemac & Oumo I will look in to. Thank you everyone for your feedback so far.

Isn't the Omega Evo a synthetic?
