Feeling good this morning and thinking to expand my tiny collection of brushes.
My moto was always 'it doesn't pay rent, it is not staying'. So ended up with two synthetics and two boars which is plenty for one chap.
My boars are Samouge 1800 and Omega 102, my synthetics are the daily whipped Dog Ubersoft at 24mm (circa 2015) and some 24mm Yaqi Toxido which I find a bit too springy.
(I also have a travel bag with a well broken in Kent Silvertex of 2011 vintage).
After reading up and down this sub-forum I can see there is a lot of love for the Cashmere knots.
I have my eye on a Bruce 24mm as I really like the handle but this has a knot they call Plisoft, will this be very different to a Cashmere knot?
I suppose I am a bit conservative when it comes to colours and shape, much prefer ivory/white or black to any other colour and prefer a short handle.
Looking at the Yaqi and other Aliexpress offerings I think I will skip as the colours and handle design don't really appeal to me.
