Hi all,
I had a question pertaining to mixed badger/boar knots. I know that the small Omega mixed knot generally gets good reviews. I am a bit more interested in the Semogue OC badger/ boar mix.
I am wondering if there is a risk that the boar hair will break in, but the Badger will always have some scritch? I have been breaking in the Boar SOC for 4 months. It has become unbelievably soft and no longer eats lather. I really like the aesthetics and function of the brush.
In general, what is the benefit of adding 2-band badger hair to a boar brush? Does the face-feel, backbone or lather quality improve? Is there a downside with mixed badger/boar in general and the mixed SOC in particular.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
