We always tend to prefer larger things despite it actually being a matter of how well you can handle what you’ve got

Yes, I stuck a Gelousy in there. It’s a nice knot, but definitely a lot floppier than I’d like. I keep postponing pulling it back out and drilling a deeper bore hole to set it at a lower loft 😅

You prefer a firmer brush I reckon. I like mine a bit floppier, but that’s due to the nature of head shaving.

I can appreciate a softer brush (eg, my extra soft Zenith horse) but I do prefer a bit of backbone, yeah.

I’m still very interested in trying one of the extra soft Zenith horse brushes, but since all my experiences with horse hair were a tangled up mess that had to be tossed out soon, I’m kinda worried…
