Does Vie-Long not produce horse hair shave brushes anymore? I can't find a single seller with horse hair brushes in stock anymore and the only Vie-Long branded brushes I have found are either synthetic or badger.
Vie Long closed shop
Thit's what you get from not according your adjective with the noun's gender! I had a shop close to my place called Casa Mexicano. It went broke.
Though Vero Moda is still going strong.
There’s just no respect for a noun’s gender these days
Oh, didn't know. Thanks!
Tragic. And their brushes were $15-$20 a piece is very reasonable.
Not sure about vie-long. Ice intake ever had one horse hair brush from them and really disliked it, so haven't kept up with the brand.
If you're looking for any horse hair brush, however, I can recommend Zenith. Both their XS (extra soft) and their 50/50 horse hair knots are really pleasant
Thanks for the recommendation, Ill have to look into Zenith brushes.
Zenith horse brushes are good, but I prefer the Semogue (Pharos C3 or Galahad C3)
Hmm I can't seem to find any in stock anywhere.
Where are you based? In Europe, they seem to be available via amazon, for instance, here:
https://www.amazon.fr/s?k=Semogue
Otherwise, the Zenith horse brush will probably make you happy as well!
I guess it is a US problem only, for all I know it is a result of our mad president's war against the world.
