Whipped Dog Badger Shaving Brush

Instead of paying 200+ dollars on a name brand Silvetip Badger brush I suggest you try one from Whipped Dog first.
First a little about brushes...
They are meant to prepare your face for shaving. Lathering with a quality soap that is meant to strip the oils from your whiskers so they stick up at attention. The brush plays a big part in comfort, lathering the soap and striping the oils while applying a slick layer of protection on your face. A good brush feels soft on the skin yet with enough backbone to pick up plenty of hard soap onto the tips of the brush. Is any of this making sense?

Whipped Dog brushes are custom made by Larry Anderson to your basic specifications. Your choices of size consists from 16mm thru 30mm. This is the width of the base of the brush. Also to get the needed backbone Larry can drill a bit more into the handle in order to sink the brush in. He can leave it standard at 10mm deep or sink it to 20mm. I suggest sinking on any Silver tip brush order. He charges about 5 dollars more but it's worth it.

Below is my 30mm Silvertip I paid around 45 dollars. A brush like this could easily cost hundreds.
