 Best bang for buck shaving brush March 2, 2008

I've gotten this brush about a month ago and it has held up pretty well. At $15 it is the best value pure badger brush on the market. At first it's a little stiff. It loses a few bristles here and there but after a few uses it breaks in. I haven't lost a bristle in weeks and its gotten softer. Of course there are better best badger brushes and silvertip badger brushes on the market but be prepared to pay $40-200 USD for a quality badger brush. The Tweezerman makes a good starter brush at $15. Why even bother to buy a synthetic or boar brush (both don't hold water well) when you can get this one for $15? I plan to upgrade to a better/softer brush down the line but the Tweezerman is treating me well and in the future will make an excellent back up or travel brush. I recommend this brush for anyone who decides to start traditional wet shaving.

This shaving brush is perhaps the most inexpensive way to get a pure Badger bristle shaving brush. I've now been using it for a year and a half, and it has not shed any real amount of its bristles like the cheaper brushes on the market. The brush head remains densely packed and quite soft. Hopefully, it will remain that way for some time to come. In the meantime, I do enjoy the close and comfortable shaves that are aided by this brush. Because of it, I have sworn off of canned shave gels for every situation except travel. They just can't compare to your average $1.50 cake of shaving soap and this brush. This was a very worthwhile purchase for me.

But they really do. I had a boar's hair brush before this, and the badger bristles really are far superior. It takes a lot less soap to make a good lather with the badger. If you're a brush user, definitely give it a try.

I bought a Tweezerman shaving brush to replace a boar bristle brush I lost--yes lost. The Tweezerman does a better job because it's more comfortable and because it lathers up faster and thicker. That said, the differences are minor in respect to the final shave. Both do a good job and the job they both do good is keeping your skin wet while you shave. The badger bristles have a slight edge in this. You'd think keeping skin wet would be easy, but it's not. What lubricates a blade more than anything is the water itself and not what's in the soap. The second you splash water on your skin it immediately begins to evaporate, so by the time you get your razor to your face most of it has evaporated. The soap foam keeps the water at your skin--that's its job here. The best shave doesn't need any soap at all. Shave under a shower with no soap and you'll see what I mean. Try it as a test. You'll get the closest shave that way. Do this only if you have memorized where everything is on your face. Shaving foam does as good a job as a wet brush in my opinion and so I use it more often than not. My final view is that the Tweezerman brush is a great deal and works well. I can see no reason to buy a more expensive brush--some sell for more than a hundred plus some dollars. Whatever they add to the mix for this price is probably not worth it. If you want to impress people with your shaving acumen, learn to use a straight razor--not for wusses or the faint of heart, though. I have been using the brush for several months and have not had any of the quality issues like shedding bristles that others here have reported, so this experience seems to vary. There could be some quality control problems at play. I do make it a point to hang the brush upside-down to dry, though. Drying it bristle side up might allow water to pool so that the glue holding the bristles is weakened.

I too am very pleased with this brush. My previous brush had a ceramic handle that cracked. This wood handle seems built to last. The badger bristles are excellent. I paid $10...unusually low price for a quality shave brush.
