Hello,

herewith I would like to ask for some advise - I am looking to buy a new shaving brush, requirements:
  • Soap = Tabac Shaving stick, pretty hard
  • Face lather exclusively
  • Price: looking to stay around 100 €
Advise regarding:
  • knot size: not to small, think somewhere arouund 22-24mm would do the job
  • Hair: best badger?
All suggestions are welcome

Thx
 
You will get many many suggestions but for what it's worth I would go for the Semouge Owners Club Badger with Ash wood or Cherry wood handle, well within your budget and fantastic brushes imo YMMV! P.
 
To me, the Simpson Colonel X2L best badger meets all your criteria. Another maker you should consider is shavemac. You can customize (handle style, size and colour; knot diameter, loft and shape; badger hair type/grade) your brush with them. Their finest badger is more than a match for Simpson best in terms of price, quality and performance.

You could also give a try to one of those new aliexpress brushes from Yaqi; they make what seems to be a good brush in blue resin with a 24 mm fan shape finest badger knot. It is way cheaper but it could be worth a try.
 

Maseto 24mm extra dense Finest. End of.
 


Simpson Colonel X2L best badger for me.
