Also it would increase the water retention hopefully.
    A great mixed badger/boar knot can be found in the Vulfix 404 mixed "Grosvenor" brush, is an interesting brush, but as mentioned by another member, seems to be the worst of both worlds. Personally, I didn't mind it, but is fun to use simply to change things up. Mixed hair brushes seem hard to do very well IMO....

    I've made my own horse hair knots, after that experience I'm pretty sure I'll leave it to the professionals, what a PITA

    I don't blame ya Bill, let the experts do it! I understand though, you wanted to see if you could do it. Never know unless ya try. I'm sure the people who make them have a much simpler way of doing it.
