What's your goto type of knot hair ?

[ARFFSHAVER]

I'm loving the density packed two bands.. The tips are almost silvertip soft and they have that famous two band backbone

I switch between, boar and badger almost daily but a well broken in boar is a thing of beauty

 

[ARFFSHAVER]

Agreed .boar for the price tag and once broken in is a nice change

I'm a big fan of boar brushes, but I've been having fun with synthetic lately. The synthetic knots have come a long way since the old nylon Ever-Ready brushes of the past.

yeah i think alot of us like to use different brush knot types for whatever soap we are using at that time.. I have a boar i like for certain soaps but synthetic for other types of soap, so it depends on the soap which i use.....

my ever-ready doesn't have a bad nylon knot in it. its actually a pretty good synthetic knot.........

Badger is my knot of choice. 2-Bands are great; the old Simpson Best Badgers are wonderfully soft. I have a Rubberset 400 with an Omega Boar. Terrific "soap killer", stunk to high-heaven when it was new. One synthetic...a second generation Simpson. Good brush for travel.

The current state of the synthetics are among the best of the species so far. On par with some of the best badger and boar brushes. It's not just me, but there are many guys who seem to share that opinion.

What's your favorite synthetic?

What's your favorite synthetic?

My favorite everyday synthetic is the SilkSmoke from AP Shave. I have it mounted in a handle made for me by Vladimir Ferdman.

My go-to, easily, is one of my two Semogue boar brushes (these days the larger one as I'm doing full-face shaves). But I agree that modern synthetics are impressive.

I guess I am "old school". There's NOTHING better than the feeling of a knot full of super-soft badger hair caressing your face.

For me the best brush is the Omega 10048. Boar all the way. Once broken in the tips are softer than a badger and produces a superior lather as well.
