Can you compare this maggard brush to other synthetics you tried. I have their regular syntethic and one tuxedo knot I placed in omega handle but this one looks too good. How much of backbone does this one have?
 
Thur 14th March

RazoRock Syn. 24mm
MWF
King Cobra
Kai Captain Mild/Pink [ 5 ]
Massimo Dutti A/S Lotion

As The King Cobra is quite a bit larger than my other AC/SE Razors, it feels quite different to them during a Shave - quite
unique really. I am definitely becoming more used to it and the quality of finish is improving, though a Shave may be taking longer because of my blade choice. Next time to I may even try it out with the shiny long Barbarosa handle that I have.

Hi Gile

I have 2 main brushes a Razorock Big Bruce and This Maggards one, The Maggards has more backbone than the Razorock , but they are different sizes so maybe that is a factor the Maggards is 24mm and the Razorock 26mm. I don't have masses of experience with brushes to be honest, but in my opinion the Maggards one is a really nice brush, it has a nice heavy handle too.

Thanks for info. I'm looking to buy one because of that handle.
