Glad to see the posts above from Shaverrific666 and Finton Stack.I mostly use the Semogue boars, and decided to get their SOC badger to try.
Arrived at my door yesterday !

Wonderful brushes @patw ! So good I have 2 of them.
How do you like it?

Be interesting to hear your thoughts on it.
I thought the one I had was too floppy, and passed it on.

But I seem to be in a minority.

Maybe I had duff one.

I'll give it a week or so and see how I get on with it.

Hello MrK1
I used the Semogue oc 2 band today for the first time , it performed well .Face lathered and it scooped up the Wickhams 1912 soap providing enough lather for a three pass shave, although I only needed a two pass + a few miner pick ups.I found the backbone to be verry good and not floppy. So far so good !

I feel I've hijacked this thread, and for that @Hharry ,i apologise mate

Both the Simpsons Duke line and the Chubby line of brushes are 'overstuffed,' (though that might not be the correct term) and have denser knots than their other brushes. It's not something that they advertise, so might not be common knowledge on the forums.

A Chubby is like two Duke-3 put together!

Just to ease my need for another brush, I've bought a synthetic Stirling. A very nice one by the way though no Silvertip or anything.

One of these. You will not find better for the price unless it's used

Afraid I weakened and ordered one of these!!! I don't have a brush bigger than 26mm at the moment so it will be very exciting

Just get a 23mm Muehle synthetic. This is the only brush you will ever need again.

Until you need something different.

Yeah, I seem to remember reading somewhere that for every 2mm of knot size, something like 40% more hair is used in the knot.

Arethe Wilkinson Sword brushes boar or synth?

 

[PLANofMAN]

Are the Wilkinson Sword brushes boar or synth?

'Pure Bristle' always means boar.

 

[Drewbie]

Have you considered a Cadman brush? I've got one of the ones he made for MDM, its a High Mountain White Badger or whatever it is, buts its soft as a cloud and so very dense. Essentially a marshmallow on 'roids. Lathers like a trooper.

It arrived safely and without a ransom demand from HMRC a few days ago, much quicker than the estimate on the web site.

I ordered a LS 30mm silvertip with the black handle.

What a superb brush, the amount of water this holds is immense, it is really heavy before you flick it out.

I paid the extra couple of quid for the wooden box and it arrived containing a freebie boar brush as well. It has only shed a dozen or so hairs during conditioning and three shaves.
