Scritchy!

It felt scritchy on the face, both dry and after being soaked for a few minutes.

My first shave with this brush was not as pleasant as I expected. I was expecting it to be similar to the Shavemac 944 D01 3 band I had which is pillow-soft on the face.

Since the Shavemac 944 D01 3 band was bought 5 years back, I cant remember how it felt the first few times.

Does the D01 3 band knot take time to break-in and soften?
