I have been using a Stirling Finest Badger for about four weeks now, and although I like the soft tips, the brush overall has two main drawbacks for me.
First, the brush has a bit too much backbone for my taste. If the knot was set higher in the handle the amount of backbone to floppiness ratio might be spot on. As is, though, too much stiffness for my usage.
Second, the brush does not like to give up the lather. I want the brush to release the lather easier so it transfers to the beard more efficiently.
Considering those two drawbacks, what badger brush would you recommend I look into (I own and use an Omega Boar 10049, so only badger recommendations please)?
