your job is shaver trainer damn?

He Geo, do you have a video on aftershave splashes or balms?

@TheOriginalStevenH Of course money is getting harder and harder to obtain so when we buy things we should all be froogle. I'd say that stick with what you have now while you refine your technique and maybe upgrade to a "lifer" brush once you know the qualities you like in a brush.

@AlexTubed I understand as a consumer I strive to seek the middle ground between cost and quality (and practicality). I got me a good brush for right now I might seek out something that is better down the road.

@TheOriginalStevenH To be completely honest, not trying to sound like a snob, you get what you pay for in shaving brushes. Cheaper brushes unfortunately lack the level of craftsman ship of old time companies, and are prone to shedding. While buying a true quality brush such as Simpsons, Shavemac, Plissons, Ronney, etc is a big cost up front they really do last and are superior. If they should shed, which is rare, they also back their product and replace them!

@AlexTubed well I've gone through 2 brushes becuase the bristles come out from the center. I recently bought an Edward Jagger pure badger brush from Shavenation. Its not as stiff as I like it to be but the first time I lathered it up I was impressed with how much it produced.

@TheOriginalStevenH A good brush should last a lifetime.

@charliejoe1993 He has one at the beginning of this video. They are decent intro brushes, but are cheap and ultimately compared to high end brushes feel cheep.

Hey Geo,
Love the videos! Been wet shaving for a year now, and looking to get a new brush. Was never plsed with my art of shaving pure badger (year later still shedding). Liked the looks of the Parker Chrome Silvertip. Is it real silvertip, would it be an upgrade from what I have, and with proper care could I expect it to last?

@porchonten
Silvertip is the best part of the badger fur.
Yes, it will last a long time as long as you maintain it properly.
Thanks,
Geo.
