re: Mens shaving and grooming thread. Update post DE shave #1.

I'm currently putting together my first safety razor setup.
I'm going with:
Edwin Jagger DE89Lbl saftey razor
Escali razor/brush stand
TOBS Almond Shaving cream
and a badger brush.
Question is: Anyone tried the Escali 100% pure badger brushes vs something like a Edwin Jagger 100% Best badger brush? I've read that Pure vs Best indicates where the hair comes from on the badger and that the Best is a step up from Pure (and that Silvertip is the ultimate). The escali brush is only 12 bucks on amazon but if I'm going to end up with the better brush anyway I'd rather buy it now than later. TIA

Look at the long handle EJs. I didnt like how short the handle on my standard length was. The $15 Escali brush will do the trick in a pinch but it's not as nice as any of the EJ brushes
What razors are you going good to try?

I have the Escali brush got it off amazon for like 11.00. It did shed a bit when I first got it but I has been a good brush and has held up well over the past 6 months.
I would recommend it to anyone looking to put a first time kit together.

I have an Escali and it is a decent brush for the price - get one and learn and then get a nicer brush later. Keep the Escali for travel.

I just got all of this in this week plus some derby razors that came with it. I have some Astor razors on the way too. Decided to go with the Edwin Jagger Best Badger brush.
After my first shave I am totally hooked! I wanted to try it without a bowl and just lather with my hand cupped and this worked just fine. The almond scent TOBS is great too. Will see how it goes with the Astor blades. May even try out the Feathers one day too.
Thanks for everyone's advice and information in this thread.
