How Does Paladin Select Badger Brush Stack Up?

[NomadicDave]

Just got my Paladin today and it's my first nice badger brush. I have been a boar or synthetic guy for the last 10 years of wet shaving. My question is how does this knot "Select Badger 26mm" compare to say a Declaration Grooming (B15), Leonidam (2Band HD), or even a Turn N Shave (H4,M4,L4)?

I am super lucky I reached out to Scott to see if he had any of his "Spooky" B15 brushes left as the site said sold out. He happened to have the one that was the photo prop for his site still. So I snagged it up and will eventually get that.

Gorgeous! I don't have a DG B15 but I have a B14 and a B3 and both my Paladin Chief, and my Paladin PK47 stack up as some of the most pleasurable knots to use. Enough backbone to face lather. Maybe a bit more backbone than both my B14 and B3 DG brushes.
