I've pretty much convinced myself that I need to stress the use of a badger brush in my YouTube video and suggest a boar brush only as a last resort. I just can't get a decent lather going with the Surrey. Today's shave was just OK: smooth no irritation but not particularly ( Read more... )

Hi Mantic--

I have a Surrey boar brush, and it's dog-awful! OTOH, I've been using a Proraso/Omega boar brush for several weeks, and it's broken in very nicely: lathers well, feels good, even smells good now. So it may be important to distinguish between grade of boar brush, just like we do between the AOS pure badger that comes in their starter kit vs. a top-notch silvertip. I wouldn't want someone to think they can't wet-shave because of the start-up cost.

Best,
Glenn

True enough. As I mentioned in today's post, I tried the Proraso boar and was pleasantly suprised!
