So the mail person delivered the New knots from Maggards today
I washed out the 70/30 Badger/Boar mix out and Bloomed it with a Maggard
2 Band Badger ,both are 24mm .
First impression of the mix is it is a full and dense knot and compared to the 2 band much stiffer but soft. How can that be ? well that is how it feels after being washed out.
I suppose after the boar breaks in ,it will be a wonderful knot.
As for the brown synthetic ,they seem soft. I will know a little more after I set them in a handle. As for the synthetics I am thinking I still like their tan and Brown best I guess we will see. The Badger Boar Mix is on the Left
