Looking for 2 brushes

[glenos]

As I mentioned in the sabbatical thread, my wife needs to order shaving brushes for our boys. As this is thier first foray into shaving she is looking for an economical suggestion bit nothing really nasty, any suggestions?

She was thinking of grabbing a couple of body shop synths, but I suggested there might be something else out there.

I only own one brush (a badger from mensbiz) so they cannot use one from my stash, I will be offering them the choice of soap from my drawer and once they get the hang of it, they will switch to DE and can access my blade stash.

Possibly something like the Razorock Plissoft Synthetic? They sell locally one at Beard & Blade.

You might find the handle a little short @ 50mm

Can’t recommend Maseto brushes from eBay enough at that price point personally.

Whipped dog I like a lot

Yeah my personal preference is around 60mm. I thought that 50 would be pretty good for teens, but you're right, they might prefer something bigger.

I cannot find that one.

Something like a Frank's brush, are they any good?

Or this and if they didn't like the Jermyn St that would be a shame

I think they come up under “fs shaving” when I am in front of a computer I will find a link for you.

You can find them on this seller:
https://www.ebay.com/usr/classicshop2012?_trksid=p2047675.l2559

they appear I reckon as ms (maseto shaving) and while Ii have not use them yet, I have heard very good opinions from people regularly using high end badger brushes

Yep that is them. Great brushes for the money.

Semogue 1305 or 1800 all they way!

Thanks to @58RW's generosity I am now looking for one brush and it isn't as urgent. So some of those maseto's will be finding a new home.

The brats will have a nicer brush than me, oh well that's the way it goes, kids get the good stuff and if I am lucky I can sniff the empty packet.

I have several brushes. But I still use this one as my daily driver. Reliable, consistent, decent, and cheap. 30 bucks.

I would recommend something like the Semogue SOG

Teach them how hard we had it at their age, give them a paint brush from the shed!

 

[Monsta_AU]

TSW's 452 Synths... you cannot go wrong with them. I have purchased a few for gifts, always well received.

 

[58RW]

452 currently out of stock

 

[glenos]

Thanks everyone, ended up with a Razorock plissoft synthetic, the thought of whinging while they break in a boat was too much to imagine.

Now to get them to choose a soap and work out a post shave routine. One has skin like mine so that will be easy the other has quite oily skin and zits so we will need to work something out.

The eagle has landed. Proof that I am still on sabbatical, two unimpressed looking teenagers.
