^ I'm pretty sure you can get shaving brushes made out of horse hair too. I don't know what the pros/cons are of those over badger hair.

EDIT: Ha! I'm right:

I am the man! But I have seen a lot more badger hair ones than horse hair. Mine's badger hair.

This from the place I bought my brushes and soap:

Generally there are three grades of badger bristle widely used for shaving brushes. They are typically described as Pure Badger, Best Badger, and Silvertip Badger.

Pure Badger is the hair that covers approximately 60% of the animal's body. It tends to be of medium length, is generally light tan but can vary to nearly black, and is the least supple of all the badger bristles, owing to its larger shaft diameter.

Best Badger is somewhat longer, covers approximately 25% of the animal's body, is generally light but varies to darker tan and is a finer more flexible hair. Since it is in shorter supply it is also correspondingly more costly.

Silvertip Badger (often called Super Badger) is the longest and most luxuriously supple of all the badger bristles. It is typically tan with darker colored bands at about 2/3 of its length. It comes from the area around the animal's neck and chest and amounts to about 15% of its total coat. Its shaft is finer and its tips are very light colored and well flared providing a decadently luxurious sensation when used. The greatest value of Silvertip bristles is not only the experience of use, but the performance characteristics of the brush. The flared tips which serve to provide thermal insulation to the badger allow the brush to hold a greater volume of water when saturated. This water is then infused into the lather to create a more moist, better performing lather which allows for a closer and less irritating shave.

Larger Silvertip brush size = more flared tips = more water held = moister lather = better shave.

I see that horse hair used to be used and even by the Army, but anthrax killed them off apparently. I'll stick with my http://www.****cshaving.com/catalog/item/2053630/2184026.htm" title="http://www.****cshaving.com/catalog/item/2053630/2184026.htm">Roony Super Silvertip brush.

That should be c l a s s i c shaving. Grrrrrrrrr.

This works for me

I use an electric razor. Used to use a regular razor with shaving cream, but I got way too lazy for that. Comments on horsehair brush?
