My The Golden Nib Boar Shaving brush
I already have some Boar brushes VP,Omega,NPV and i wanted something more expensive,i expected better quality so i bough a knot and a handle from TheGoldenNib.
The knot was at 24mm,the handle was appropriate for that dimension and the colour one of my favourites.

Some "maritime use" epoxy glue and everything OK

In the first test i was disappointed but i knew that a Boar need some "grooming" time
Again and again every shaving was a disaster,the knot was absorbing the soap but it never gave back any serious lather
The only appropriate style for this brush was the "painting" style that i don't like it
In circular moves was nothing more that soap and time waist
I never expected to see that from a TGN knob,i have many knobs from this company but i never confronted any problems.

Am I the only one with problem with this kind of knot ?

How many times have you used it? I'm curious as I was looking to pick up a boar knot from TGN soon.
