My New Favorite Boar Brush... Rivals Silvertip Badgers
This B08 Zenith Brush with metal handle is amazing! It has the perfect knot size and loft! It's much softer than my SOC boar, SOC badger and blows away anything Omega! It has plenty of backbone and feels like the tips are pre-broke-in! It doesn't splay out and holds it's shape. It whips up an awesome foam! You Can't go wrong here!
I like the brush and it works well. But there were a couple of things that were a disappointment. The handle is made of a relatively “soft” metal, aluminum. And the handle already showed some scuffs and scratches the moment It was removed from the box. Also, it is obvious that the bulb shape of the knot was prepared by the new guy. It’s kind of uneven, or “lumpy.” Overall, it does work well and I like it but wish these minor issues were not present.
Zenith boar brushes are the best boar brushes available today.great handle selections as well.have three zenith brushes.two boars and one horse hair.will be adding more to my collection very soon
The pictures are actually quite representative of the product. The handle is nice, not too heavy but solid. The knot arrived deodorized which is a very nice thing in this price point. All in all I believe this has become my new recommended brush for beginners and enthusiasts alike.
