Great looking brush, I love the alternate ivory with the black engraving. Congrats!
Thanks! It performed great for its first use. I really like the Satin Alternate Ivory. I studied the color possibilities are looked at a lot of pictures to make my choice.
My replacement arrived today. any thoughts on the knot and how the two compare? I have to send one back. Not sure how one has more bloom then the other?

Because, as you suspected, the brush on the right was used and then returned to Amazon who then sold it to you.
And the person who used it “wanted” the sticker and removed it before returning the brush!
That’s what it looks like to me.

Well, how do you do, Mr. Chubby 2?
That would have been a failure as the decals stick that hard that you cannot get them off for reuse without damage and then only by applying heat with a hair dryer or even a heat gun, which would make me worry about the knot and it's glue.
I would rather assume, that it was removed to obscure signs of use by someone, though this makes it even more obvious.
Nice brush, Hedy!
Arrrrghhhhhh!!

I picked up two Yaqi brushes, the Purple Haze synthetic and the Bluish Violet synthetic. Used the later brush this morning.

My Simpson Trafalgar 3 Synthetic arrived last night. It’s sitting in my closet on the PF next to the Chubbys.
Can’t wait to put them to use.

Omega 11819
This is one of the newer models. It wasn't available 5-6 years ago. I have read on two sites it is a 50mm brush. Here is a prove that often the info at internet vendours is wrong. Turns out the brush is 56/24 mm. I would buy more if I knew that. Well, that is just a reason to place an order again.
Anyway, I just compared it to 10065 and the 10066. The bristle colour is like on the 10065, so bleached. The 10066 is significantly darker than the other two. It seems to me that also this is a floppy brush, much like the 10065. @zoidberg might chime in, as he has it.

Ivan, thanks for the tag.
Here's a picture of 3 of my boar brushes, two Zeniths (one bleached on the left, unbleached in the middle) and the 11819 on the right, which is pictured after 200 or so shaves on it's belt.
I enjoyed using mine a lot, and it wasn't the stiffest/scrubbiest brush to begin with, then it became a soft fluffy cloud which even though I enjoyed using.
This seems to be my most used and favourite boar brush right now, also the cheapest at just under 4 Euros.
Mine is red-white. Here Brush Acquisition Thread - https://www.badgerandblade.com/forum/threads/brush-acquisition-thread.474363/post-11279553 But it is still in the palm lathering phase. Haven't shaved with it.
I have noticed that recently I am gravitating more to the 55mm models. My 49-50mm Omegas are getting a bit less use.
