IMO it's the size that matters. I prefer small ones and use almost exclusively my cheap AOS regular badger. Boars are not my thing. Large badgers are not my thing. Also have a small Colonel Simpsons in silver tip that I like. Anything larger… meh!
Agreed - my #10 (smallest) Plisson HMW badger brush was the end of the road for me, hands down the best brush I've ever used...the rest get used when I think the Plisson needs a rest...
