"Veganism is a philosophy and lifestyle whose adherents seek to exclude the use of animals for food, clothing, or any other purpose".

I know. Me too.

Always amusing to find vegans on trains in Sweden wearing plastic sandals (made from fossil animals and plants)...

As a vegan are you allowed to ride horses or keep animals as pets? That is exploitation after all.

seek to exclude the use of animals for food,".

I think Connaught used to do a synthetic brush.Might be worth dropping Paul a line.

There was a post on the B&B forum with a review of several synthetic brushes available on the market. The clear winner seemed to be the Taylor of Old Bond Street brush, followed by the Edwin Jagger one. Here is the link to the post in question:

Not ours, but probably B&B rules for putting their link on TSR!!

I'm pretty sure that Neo had a supplier for synthetic knots.

A handful of grass might work or the fluffy end of a celery stick?

After having a quick read of the posts this morning in between jobs, this has reduced me to fits of giggles whenever I’ve past a fruit and veg shop... :lol: :lol:

 

[RB73]

Are the Wilkinson brushes you can get in Tesco’s etc not synthetic... :?:

Hope you're going to share the wording of the reprimand you'll doubtless receive from the B & B steward shortly, Random. Still, it will doubtless be administered in classic, understated, ironic clipped sentences. Just as a gentlemanly shaver of seniority in shaving forums would express himself. :lol:

[moodymick]

why would someone with a beard, hairy legs and armpits want with a shaving brush?

As for vegan males they might want to shave their palms i suppose? :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

I have a men-u syntetico brush, & one that might be a Vulfix and/or EJagger private label batch sold on ebay.ca as a vegan brush (surely a bit of lax definition of 'vegan' for purists admittedly).

Both are actually nice brushes, and to my not-so-highly-educated shaving experience, are on par with some of the pure/best badger grade brushes I've used, looked at.

Also I have heard that Body Shop's is a good buy for the low price (£5.00 iirc). Reviews of the TOBS synthetic brush were bretty glowing at the time too.

Thanks again for the helpful suggestions. I have sent the enquirer the B & B link (I expect if he joined up this morning he'll be banned by now :lol: ) and also the link to this thread. He's going to try the Body Shop one to start with, so maybe he'll join up and share his thoughts on it.
Moodymick's post certainly gives a whole new meaning to 'palm lathering'. :lol:
