Hello,

herewith I would like to ask for some advise - I am looking to buy a new shaving brush, requirements:
  • Soap = Tabac Shaving stick, pretty hard
  • Face lather exclusively
  • Price: looking to stay around 100 €
Advise regarding:
  • knot size: not to small, think somewhere arouund 22-24mm would do the job
  • Hair: best badger?
All suggestions are welcome

Thx

You will get many many suggestions but for what it's worth I would go for the Semouge Owners Club Badger with Ash wood or Cherry wood handle, well within your budget and fantastic brushes imo YMMV! :) P.
 
To me, the Simpson Colonel X2L best badger meets all your criteria. Another maker you should consider is shavemac. You can customize (handle style, size and colour; knot diameter, loft and shape; badger hair type/grade) your brush with them. Their finest badger is more than a match for Simpson best in terms of price, quality and performance.

You could also give a try to one of those new aliexpress brushes from Yaqi; they make what seems to be a good brush in blue resin with a 24 mm fan shape finest badger knot. It is way cheaper but it could be worth a try.
