Perplexed - Can shaving brushes suddenly go "bad"

Started 1 week, 3 days ago (2009-11-12 17:15:00) by vsp

Hi, I own 4 brushes. A shavemac 28 mm The B&B Essential The 2008 B&B Limited Edition and An Omega Professional boar brush I use them all regularly, but the shavemac and the B&B Essential are my two go-to brushes.

FS: The Original .500 Magnum of Shaving Brushes: Pre-Vulfix Chubby 2

Started 2 weeks, 6 days ago (2009-11-02 21:56:00) by huntmol

For sale is a recently acquired Pre-Vulfix Chubby 2 in Best.

Makes you wonder why all the new ones are bulb shaped. Unfortunately, I have been making too many other purchases recently, and this piece of shaving history must...

Omega Shaving Brushes

Started 3 weeks, 3 days ago (2009-10-29 14:05:00) by idleivey

Right now I have a cheap Body Shop brush and would like to upgrade. There are a lot of recommendations on the site but I'm suffering more of an aesthetic dilemma. I am in love with the bake-lite, acrylic handle look. For example these new omega's . The problem is the bristles on all of these are low end boar or synthetic and I would like a decent badger brush. This is a stupid problem ...

There are three cracks at the top of the handle that I filled with superglue and epoxy so its plenty sturdy. Looks a bit like Frankestein. you probably cannot ...

Art of Shaving Kit Brushes

Started 2 months, 4 weeks ago (2009-08-25 13:05:00) by Jwolf24601

Are there any differences in quality for the Art of Shaving pure badger brushes that come in the kits? I currently have the brush from the Starter kit. I am planning on ordering the Sandalwood Shave Cream, Preshave Oil, and After Shave Balm and I am wondering is the brush the set comes with is worth the extra $18 to buy the whole kit.
