I am a big fan of wet shaving and and always impressed with some of the shaving brushes I see people have. What are some brushes that you all have here? I'll post some of my personal ones later tonight when I get home.
You made those?Here are my current 4 that I use. The left one is an Oscar11 handle with a blonde badger knot, middle two are handles I made with synthetic knots, right one is another one I made with a TGN finest.

The 3 on the right I did yes. The one on the left was a gift from a buddy.You made those?
I use a TGN Finest 24mm for face lathering. Set it no higher than 51mm loft in my opinion or it might not have the backbone most would want. I have a Premium Silvertip from TGN that I'll be making a handle for tomorrow to use for face lathering as well.Only one brush and she ain't pretty. For you face latherers out there what type of brush are you using?
I'm considering getting a Duke 2 or Duke 3 in Best Badger.I use 3 badger brushes in rotation for my shaves. Left to Right ...Simpson Duke 3 in Best, Savile Row in Finest, Simpson Chubby 2 in Super (Simpson's classification of Finest). I use the Duke 3 for soaps, Chubby 2 for creams and the Savile Row for both soaps and creams. Any of these brushes could be used as one's only brush for either soaps or creams. I just like shaving brushes. Sorry for the lousy photo.

Let me know if you need help with directions toward a good beginner budget brush. There's a couple nice options out there
My new adventure. Nothing fancy but it's a start. I can tell after 1 shave I'm going to need a better brush.

I only have to shave about twice a week, I grow facial hair like a 16 year old girl. The shave cream I bought kinda burns my face It burned immediately upon application....any recommendations on shave creams or soap without a bunch of acids in them? Or is than an essential ingredient ? I have sensitive skin and its relatively dry to begin with.Let me know if you need help with directions toward a good beginner budget brush.
