So. Been meaning to try a Zenith Manchurian for a good while now.
Background:
I like dense, scrubby badgers.
Used to use mostly semogue when I used boars(rarely), but someone convinced me to try the zenith short n scrubby boar and it became my only boar brush.
I mostly use mixed hair boar/badger knots these days as they give me the density, backbone, and scrubbiness I like.
Had a zenith manchurian in my cart more times than I can count, but kept putting it off till later. Finally landed a deal on one and my impression will be coming soon(also pictures).
