Hello Gents & happy new year to you all!
I'm in need of some help, I am in the market to purchase a boar brush (never having used a boar before) and the Semogue Torga C3 boar took my fancy. However upon research I found Semogue offer this brush with a 22mm & 24mm mistura knot. I've read some excellent things about the mistura knots and it sounds very appealing. My question is if you could only pick one knot which would it be and why? The C3 boar or C3/5 mistura?
I have always been a badger brush user with the majority or brushes being between 21mm - 24mm range, save for my V11 Fanchurian 26mm. I want a knot that has good backbone and won't just flop around easily when bowl lathering. I understand boars have good backbone and are great once broken in. Would a mistura have enough back bone and if so would there be a huge performance difference between the 22mm & 24mm knot, this is also what I can decide on haha. Part of me thinks I should just get the boar, to experience a full boar knot but this mistura sounds so appealing.
I'm really struggling to choose and would greatly appreciated your advice & opinions. Thanks gents and happy shaving.
