If it’s anything like the cream colored 28mm version I bought from the Gentle Shave, it’s Excellent. Densely packed, solid backbone, gentle scrub. Mine’s breaking in beautifully.
I have two Zenith bleached boars and two Semogue SOCs. The bristles in both brands seem well processed. Neither brand demonstrates any scritch. Both Zenith knots are packed more densely and have more “presence” (not scrub). All four knots’ bristles began to split after one or two uses. I have no clear favorite.
Zenith makes great boar brushes. Right up there with an Omega. They seem a little softer, with less break in time than an Omega. Both Omega and Zenith are top notch, in my book.
