Synthetic /badger brush

Over my time of straight shaving I have accrued more than several Badger brushes including silver tipped,best badger and ect. Could someone recomend a badger/synthetic or combination boars hair/badger ? Wanted to try one for a long time and seems as if there are a million out there and just need some steering in the right directon as far as brand. I really don't care for the larger brushes, something along the line of Simpson's Tulip. Probably around 22 mm knot.Does the Golden Nib offer these knotts in the above mentioned format ?:shrug:

I had the Omega No. 643174 banded synthetic at one time and found it pleasing. You might wan to give it a try. Here is a link for you:

Thanks for your kind attention.....Think I will give it a whirl.......I'll let you know how I like it. And by the way,I have enjoyed your many posts and your dedication to the forum and all it's members with your insight into many subjects which has made our straight shaving life more pleasurable....:bow

Driver, my dear friend, thank you for the kind words. I enjoy myself here.
Yes, I think you will like that synthetic. Don't forget, though, it will not puff up like a badger. It will also feel softer with limited backbone, but that seems to work for these synthetic brushes.
Stay well.

I would avoid the boar/badger combos. It seems to me they combine the worst qualities of the two into one brush. It's better to just go with a pure boar if that's what you want.
