The last horse hair shaving brush manufacturer in the west, an old Spanish company-- Vie-Long, finally quit making them a few years ago now

WHAT. i have been lazy and wanting to buy a new one for my skull and not doing that. what about horsehair shoe polish brushes? I just like the feeling of hair on my skull. plastic brushes don't clean right.

Yeah, you've been lazy along with me. I wanted another one of their shaving brushes. I think they still offer badger hair shaving brushes. For real natural brushes you have your choice of either badger hair or boar bristle. Badger is the most popular for shaving brushes followed by boar which is stiffer and can feel "scritchier" if you are looking for that. Though it takes a bit of use to get a good boar brush's bristles to start splitting at the tips and then it provides a soft feel.

Those people that dislike the fact that the boar and badger need to be all in on making a shaving brush, favor the synthetics. And I do have a couple that I find pretty nice. But there is a difference in the feel between natural hair/bristle and plastic.
