I really do like my VDH boar brushes. I did have to buy three but the first one was trash and would shed like crazy! The other two are the redemption of the first one and I love them. They dry the same as my badgers. I can gauge how much water to shake out of my boars better.
My badgers hold in too much water (not a bad thing!), but I drip more lather than with my boars. If I had to keep only one kind of brush, I could easily let my badgers go.
