Can anyone give me some feedback or any comparison of these 3 brushes? A lot of positive review for the sovereign knot in the trafalgar's and the STF knots in EJs but cannot find any feedback in the knot that kent is using now for their synthetics.
I am just looking to buy a new synthetic brush. It "has" to be a british one (because i want a full english shaving setup for my marriage and i am missing the brush!) and i would prefer it to be a synthetic.
I don't like synthetics too much, i prefer my omega boars to be honest but never tried these higher cost ones (have tried only yaqis and i like tuxedos).
Thanks
A bit of a radical departure but why don't you treat yourself to one of one Graham's hand carved brushes? Not English, but Scottish! That way he could put in the knot from an Omega boar for you or a synth if you wish.

Didn't know that he is actually doing "made to order" handles with boar knots. I have seen a lot of his brushes in SOTNs. They look nice. Maybe i can contact him
The "English" brush is only an idea to complement my favorite set of Tobs Mr Taylor and my favorite razor, a full brass ball-end english tech. Any uk nation origin will do
I have to admit I like the Kent handles a lot... But I think the knot is nothing special
I have the INF2 from Kent (see: https://kentbrushes.com/products/infinity-plus-synthetic-shaving-brush-inf2) and find the fibre to be just a little scrubbier than Muhle STF. In use, I think it loads the soap better, given the scrubbiness ... but that's probably just me finding a difference where in reality one doesn't exist. I guess the BK8 uses the same fibre, but the knot looks far less relaxed in those examples. I like my INF2. No idea who makes the fibres - the INF2 is different to INF1 which has a far more legacy nylon feel to the fibres.
... or get a friendly Scot to stick a piggie into a bit of whittled wood and enjoy something handmade from our island.
