So I been given a budget of £30 to upgrade my men-u boar brush.any recommendations?
N_Architect said:With that money you can get a second hand NF Tubby 1 or 2, a Semogue Owners Club boar, a new NF 22xx, a Semogue 2000, a Semogue 830, an Omega 31064 or a No. 34, etc.
Some of these will leave you some change back, for others the 30 pounds will be just enough. There's plenty of choice out there. Choice obviously depends a lot on whether you face or bowl lather as well.

I like the look of Fido's brushes and they're undoubtedly well made but I sometimes worry that there never seems to be any alternatives offered in TSR opinions so it almost looks like a shill for Fido's business. I therefore merely try to offer another choice!
shrink said:absolutely... i have no affiliation with Fido at all, in fact I rarely converse with him even on the forum. But im a very very happy owner of two NF brushes and would undoubtedly buy more. Having used a lot of the mass market options, these are simply better value for money. Being scottish.. i like VFM
