Its a Plisson 10
I've had great results with the Vulfix line of brushes.
Rather than give you a specific brush, maybe you need to look a shaving centric vendors. I am not knocking Amazon, but you can see more in context with good vendors.
Bullgoose - Phil is an excellent vendor.

Shoebox Shave Shop - Gary is an excellent vendor.

Connaught Shaving - Paul is an excellent vendor.

You noticed that I called out the proprietor's name. It is because they sell solid products and provide great service.
There are others as well. This will help provide some more perspective of what is available outside of the Amazon box.
Can I interest you in a Boar?
The usual questions apply:
What are you looking for/expecting from your next brush? What do you like and dislike about your current brushes?
Sure. 2 lbs of cheek bacon, 4lbs of fresh side bacon and a whole ham please.
What's your budget?
Mmmmmmm bacon
I have the WSP Prince in 2 band. It's a great brush and probably tied for the most used brush in my rotation. Soft tips, nice backbone, I found it a little stiff at first but it broke in nicely. BTW I am a face latherer.
I first found this brush in Amazon but went to the WSP website and to my suprise it was on sale there (20 bucks off), so no matter what brush you choose make sure to shop around.
Along with the sites listed above http://www.westcoastshaving.com and http://www.italianbarber.com are other good sites

Another vote for a boar brush
I have a Rudy Vey custom with a 2 band finest I think. I love the brush, it's really firm but soft. I have a standard WD silvertip and it's too soft; I get no exfoliation from it whereas I feel that I get a better shave from the 2 band. The bulb doesn't deform when I lather with it (face lather) and it's an all around great brush.
I also have a Vie-Long 13061 and it too is great, lots of exfoliation but I find that the bristles are a little long. I find I have to swirl the brush a fair bit to accomplish the same lather. Still a great brush though, I haven't used my WD brushes in weeks.

Did you wait for it to break-in? Once broken in I find them to be incredibly soft, but a different soft when compared to my silvertips.
