Cheap Brush is still my favorite, how could this be?

Touchie, the Australian Aboriginal loves to eat tortoise, and tastes like bloody chicken.

I dug out an older natural hair brush recently and have used it a few times.

Its a "Progress Vulfix 404 Grosvenor Mixed Badger and Boar Bristle Shaving Brush" which i bought in 2016 and used quite a bit back then.

This last week or so, whenever i used it, it shed a bristle or two each time. I have hung it upside down to dry on a stand each time i used it and always used to do so.

Does the hair loss mean its dying ?

Tricky question to answer. It could mean it is dying but not necessarily so. You could just continue to use the brush to find out.

You statement in too general, have you tried STEEL RESERVE.

Hopefully it's been dead for a while now!

Maybe shampoo it with warm water.

I’ve tasted Foster’s, just saying.

While I am prepared to consider the possibility that Australia keeps its best beer to itself I concur, and Castlemaine's no better.

Make Lather well, applies Lather well, Weight is not heavy, feel Great in Hand, and last holds on to Lather like most Boars.

It is a good looking knot.

Sometimes things just WORK, regardless of cost.

I’ve actually been looking for a 21mm boar knot. The first Muhle synthetic I ever bought is just awful, and I’d love to get it back into circulation. Seems like I used to see 21mm knots pretty regularly, but not anymore. Not sure who makes the good ones.

Boti Brush makes a 20 and 21mm size boar knot.

I just really like Synths. I have got a few decent Badgers which were gifted to me and a Boar brush or two, but since using a Synth i have never looked back really.

In fact, this thread prompted me to tick something off the wish list and i just today ordered a Yaqi 24MM Sagrada Familia from their AliExpress shop !!

The Sagrada Familia arrived a couple of weeks back, so have had time to get to know the Holy Family.

I can see now why people rave about it. The handle is compact, yet enables a good grip even when wet and the knot is a decent size with a fair amount of backbone and not too floppy. I really like it and it feels like a bargain at under £12 delivered.

If you want a first SYNTHETIC, can’t say enough good about this PAA.

Moon Stryker, 24mm. Under $25.00.
