I have been reading forums and descriptions trying to find a brush that I really like but so far have been disappointed with my purchases and I'm growing discouraged. I will try again. This time with as much specific information as I can including the brushes I've already tried and why I don't like them.
General: I need a small, stiff scrubber with maximum backbone that doesn't splay excessively when broken in and is not very dense...so probably boar. I face lather with soaps.
Brushes I already own:
Yaqi Sagrada Familia 24mm Tuxedo: I don't like it. It's too big, WAY too soft and WAY too dense.
Unknown badger Dad gave me: Too big, too soft, loft too long and splays considerably
Semogue 1470: This one I actually kinda sorta like. The density is about where I like it but it's too big. The current stiffness/backbone is decent but I can already tell I will not be once it's broken in.
What I'm looking for:
KNOT: Prefer 19-21mm. I absolutely draw the line at 22mm. This is a must
LOFT: Prefer 45-48ish mm...50mm max.
BACKBONE:Very high priority. Emphasis on stiff, course and scratchy.
DENSITY: Prefer lower density. Could tolerate one beginning to approach moderate density range if I had to. No lather hogs.
SOFTNESS: Zero priority
HANDLE: Not tripping about the handle as long as it's not very big.
PRICE: $30 budget
What do you guys think? Can you help me find my brush, or am I hunting unicorns over here?I though about the 40033 but 24mm is too big. Please help. Thank you.
