This. Stirling boar is an excellent brush for the value. I've enjoyed my fairly well.I will also say considering that Stirling boar is just $10, that brush is the boar brush deal of the century. So in my honest opinion go with the Stirling. If you want to get fancy (for a boar brush) pony up and get a Semogue SOC in either Taj or Cherry Wood. I Can’t recommend those two brushes enough. I hope my results help somebody on the fence when it comes to which boar brush to purchase!
