Lot of "patience-courage" you got my friend
I could tolerate them like that more than one shaving.

My Vie Long 13723 is my current favourite brush!
Sorry for resurrecting the topic but I needed to inform you, I am Turkish and all shaving hobbyists here know that Turkish no 6 brush is actually a boar brush, marketed as horse brush because religious concerns of the majority of the people in the country, same thing applies to some other brushes too.
Best wishes
Have had a #6 in my rotation for a few years.
Like it a lot.
No problems with shedding.
Very different than my Vie-Long horsehair brushes - can believe #6 could actually be boar.
Try the Vie-Long horse-hair options from Gifts & Care in Spain. Two general variants there: 2:1 tail-to-mane ratio (brown hair) and 1:1 tail-to-mane ratio (white hair and banded hair). Of the two, the 1:1 tail-to-mane ratio is a bit softer.
Horse-hair is different from boar or badger. It tends to clump together when wet, and the hairs are quite straight. For these reasons, I prefer not to soak the knot in advance, just dunk the knot in water for around 20-30 seconds before loading from the puck or whipping up cream in the bowl (adding small amounts of water via hand-transfers from the faucet until the right lather consistency is achieved). Also, I'm not a big fan of face-lathering with horse-hair; it sort of demands a paint-brush approach from my experience.
