I had a Vie-Long Barber brush that had 75% tail hair, so was even pokier than the 65% tail hair of the Bull Goose brushes. However it was a wonderful bowl lathering brush easily whipping up fantastic lathers. I always applied lather in a paintbrush motion.
It did eventually break in to a non-pokey feeling and became a pleasure to use. I eventually sold it for a few dollars to fund other purchases, but miss it.
However, it's your brush so if you want to reknot it, it's your call. IMO, the BG beehive handles are great looking handles so it's important that you get to use it regularly.
