A well packed, but not too densely, silver tip knot with a low loft might be what you are looking for. I am a face lathering shaver and like them that way but none of mine are close to the stiffness/backbone of my Omega 10066 boar brush. You might want to check out the reviews of the Semogue Owners Club 2 band silver tip brush. It has good backbone, soft tips and is relatively inexpensive as factory silver tip 2 bands go. I have the SOC and enjoy it. Here is a review to start you off Semogue Owners Club Two-Band Shaving Brush .
