I'm breaking in a new boar brush today. I love my SOC boar, but I think it'd be good to have some variety. I did a few days of the boar brush initialization procedure but I got impatient.

The Zenith seems so much more dense than the SOC. It's set a good amount higher (57mm) but it's got much more backbone. It's wider (27.5mm vs 24mm) but hasn't bloomed just yet.

Have a good day.
