Your favourite brush for bowl lathering?

[FrankieG]

My current fave is a Morris & Forndran Urn/Polo with 24mm Blonde Badger knot set at 52mm loft. The 62mm long handle fits comfortably in the hand while ensuring your fingers stay well away from hitting the inside the bowl and the soft 'gel-like' tips are perfect for applying lather to your whiskers with painting strokes.

What is your favourite?

Simpsons Emperor 3 Super. For exactly the same reasons.

Gotta love lathering your bowel. ... many lols.

Rubberset 400-3 with (I think) TSN 22mm 3 band knot restored by a TSR member. Always look forward to using it, in the rotation, for hybrid bowel/face lathering.

Those Rubberset 400-3 are to die for. I'm seriously lusting after one.

One in the middle is favourite for my scuttle. Right for face, left to use in rotation with the shiny boar as they take a little while to dry.

At the moment it's a toss-up between my Semogue 2013 SE and one of my custom Shavemacs.

M&F Chief 26mm and Simpson's M7 2-Band. Rooney 3/2 Finest is a close second.
I somehow find the Emperor 3's handle just a bit too slim for a perfect grip.

There is now! I love my Omega 20106. It's massive and it whips up lather ridiculously quick. No that it's fully broken in, it's really soft with great backbone.

In addition to using an Emperor 3 I also bowl lather with a Chubby 2. Having a wide bowl like the Aesop one means any brush can be used.

I recently picked up a Simpson Polo 8 in super and it easlily beats the other half dozen brushes I've been using for bowl lathering. Whips up loads of lather in no time at all and the tips are super-soft too.

My Omega 49 is a good bowl brush.

For scuttle lathering it's my ToGo brush Simpson "custom" KeyHole KH4 in super.

I know I'm a cheap skate but mine is a medium shave factory boar bristle.


Sorry just seen how old this post is.

My favourite is the Omega 48 (also sold as Proraso brush) after a little while it formed the double tips and its softness when full of soap is incomparable. It is not by chance that it is one of the favorite brushes by professional barbers.
