I can help with part of your question, with your budget and the requirement for some scrub I wouldn't recommend a silver tip, too expensive and quite soft. I would go for a best badger brush....cheaper with more scrub. As for the makes of brush I will leave that for someone with more experience than myself. Good luck in your quest!Ok so I've only got one brush at the moment, a Razorock Plissoft (24mm) with a Bruce handle.
I'd like to try a badger brush. I've been reading on here and on the web (including YouTube) but the more I read the more unsure I am of what I should get.
Here's some more information which might help with your responses.
I mainly bowl lather (with varying degrees of success).
With only trying the Razorock, it's hard to say what I'm looking for from a badger brush. The Razorock is soft enough but I would like maybe some more backbone and scrub.
Budget can be anything between £50-100.
I'm basically looking for guidance and how to narrow down my options.
Your advice will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Rob
I can recommend Cadman brushes ,within your budget and he will talk you through what you are after, and you will be supporting a artisan brush maker, he is highly recommended .I can help with part of your question, with your budget and the requirement for some scrub I wouldn't recommend a silver tip, too expensive and quite soft.

Sorry Rob, my internet connection did a weirdo on me. Don't think the boars are inferior to the badgers because they aren't. Just another option for you. The Semogues are nice brushes. Good luck!Best badger would be an excellent choice. I have one & think it's excellent. Also, don't overlook the boar brushes, I own three & they're as good,
Sorry, gremlins

What about one of those PantaRei's then...No worries. I've heard very good things about your brushes. I'd just like to try a badger first.

Yeah, that's another good brush. As I said - good luck!!Just had a Google of the PantaRei brushes and they are not for me, sorry. Really not a fan of the handles.
I really like the look of the H.L.Thäter though.
Yes, silvertip badgers are expensive, but there are plenty in your upper price range. www.executive-shaving.co.uk have a super badger brush with a largish handle and a 45mm loft that is excellent for soaps, creams and bowl lathering. It'll cost you £35 and if you communicate with Brian (owner), he will set you on the path to cost-effective and glorious wet shaving. If you go to their website and look at the executive shaving brushes, there's a video with Brian extolling the virtues of this brush.
