The two best pro brushes I know of are the 10083 and the 10048. Both are outstanding brushes. I've used a 10048 for well over 20 years and still works great. I also use a 10083 and it works just as well but gives a little better control. I cannot figure out what # brush you guys are selling.
I recently got Omega shaving brushes for my grandkids sons and showed them how to use them.
In my experience Omega makes the best brushes. I do have a badger hair brush but with my beard it's too soft.
As far as shaving creams...Proraso in the either in a cup of tube is the best I've found. I switch between the red and green depending on my mood. I cannot tell any difference. My wife and our family prefer the Proraso red aftershave. All our grandkids are using the red aftershave, the like the sandalwood scent.. I also use the Proraso red aftershave balm...works great.
Tried to write a review on amazon but they will not allow me to review their products?
