Brush advice - looking for more backbone, less size
I've been using a Simpson Colonel x2l in best the last few weeks.
It's a giant of a knot, packed with soft soft hairs, but lacks the backbone i'm looking for i think, as it seems to NOT want to give up the soap/cream no matter how much water I add.
So my questions:
1. Would going to a shorter loft provide me with more backbone?
2. What recommendations do you have for something smaller then the colonel but are just as soft but with more backbone?
3. Price would be under $100 if possible
Anybody use a Wee Scott? I also found a really cool Rooney and was wondering about their performance, as I love the color of the handle
