Good sirs,
I am looking for a pair of excellent horse hair shoe polishing brushes. I want the length to be 18-21 cm, long haired.

Do you have any advice?

Could you please list your favourite brush and its maker & price? Photos would be very appreciated!!


Many thanks!

I read a lot of posts on this topic but still could make a decision. So I went ahead and ordered the 18 cm long Viennese Horse Hair Brush from Burgol and the 21 cm brush made by Famaco. I also bought the Saphir 21 cm brush. I will do a side by side comparison and will post the results here.
