Boar / badger mixed brushes

I've tried 2 mixed brushes. The first was a Vulfix Grosvenor purchased 3 years ago which I reknotted then sold. This was a low density mixed pure badger/boar knot. It combined the worst elements of the hairs. The pure badger was scritchy and the boar kept the tips against my face. Even after breaking in it didn't get any better.

The other one is a 24mm Maggards mixed knot I had set in a handle. This is a 70% 2 band badger/30% boar mix. It's a denser knot and I had it set at a 55mm height. It has some scritch (less than a pure, but more than a best badger) with a good mix of backbone and splay. I don't find myself reaching for it as much as my boar or best badger brushes, but it's still a good knot.
