Last month, a friend gave me a Plisson Lucite Pure Badger Brush (22mmx52MM). I expected a lot of scritch similiar to my Omega Black Badger. The Plisson turned out to be soft with almost no scritch at all, just good backbone. It easily loaded up my dollop of Proraso Blue in under 5 seconds and did a great job face lathering.

And for me, my Plisson #12 in Pure Black Badger (22mm, faux ebony handle) is "scritchy" as can be. I think this is a perfect example of how difficult (if not impossible) it is to buy a shaving brush "blind"; I'm glad yours was a gift, and not a purchase.
Smooth shaving!
Nice brush! and nice Flying Cloud Decanter :cool: those don't come cheap. lol
i was playing around on the plisson site and narrowed it down to one brush.... $400 ! yikes.
I bowl lathered with Stirling Barbershop using the Plisson today. It did another great job. Again, it is much softer than I had expected, but has great backbone.
