I feel like I've tried a ton of brushes, and these are my absolute favorite.  They are available now, but they are limited edition so not always there.  Manchurians are crazy dense and a bit "too much" for my taste but these are perfect!

It appears that you want a great badger brush, off the shelf and for a reason price.  My comment is based on that theory.  Many brushes now made in this country is based on a beautiful and intricate handle.  I could care less if my brush is attached on a corn cob as long as the KNOT fits my needs.  All of my brushes a badger, 2 band and fan shape.  Some of my brushes are used for certain soaps and creams.  Over the years I have been able to determine what brush applies a certain soap or cream to my liking.  I own Simpsons, Wiborg, Shavemac, Morris & Forndran and Heinrich L. Thater.

My suggestion if you want to purchase a great badger hair brush off th shelf consider Heinrich L. Thater.  Also, consider Shavemac as you can order a custom made brush as well as brushes already made off the shelf.  Don't buy a brush because it has a great looking handle; buy a brush because it workes well.  There are some people who only have several brushes mades by XYZ company and say how great they are.  It takes trying several manufactures and comparing them.  If interested I would be willing to post photos of my brushes. Heinrich L. Thater is always

You are getting some great advice. My opinion also fits with the previous postings:

Elite
Thater
Brad Sears - Morris & Forndran
Shavemac

Available, affordable and would be re-salable on BST if you develop a preference leading to another maker.

Some of the 'hand tied knot artisans' are tough/frustrating to buy from per availability as previously mentioned. I love my Quinn, Thater, and sears/M&F brushes.
