    I would go with a two band finest then. 24mm or 26mm. It will give you some of the backbone that your used to with the boar but much softer face feel.

    Yes, just an FYI the fan shaped knots have a little less backbone then the bulb shaped knots and tend to open up a little more.

    This yaqi might be the one. I see another yaqi badger on wcs but doesn't say what grade of badger[​IMG]

    This looks like a silver tip

    Yes both pics are listed as silver tip but they do it differently. I'll see if I can post descriptions. I like them both

    The mountain lake brush mentions silvertip in the main description but only calls it badger after that. I'm assuming both are silver tip[​IMG][​IMG]

    It just arrived a few days ago. Great handle, very soft bristles. I prefer Boar brushes mostly. I like boar's backbones. This silvertip does not have much backbone , of course. I recommend finest two band badgers for shavers who look for reasonable backbone and massage effect.

    My money would go to Steve's Alpha T-400.
    I think it's a bit above what you said the budget was, but it's a very fine brush. 20181215_123732_resized.jpg

    Also he's here to answer any knot description questions.
    Calling @Vlasta
    JR's ole#7, my granddad's @GDCarrington restored rubberset, and my Alpha, my remade 400 by @clint64 are my favorites, all the rest are just brushes.
    Those are in a heartfelt spot, because of my relationship with these men, here at the den.

    I've had 2 recommendations on Simpson's . The other was the Case. After watching some reviews I'm rethinking my order..pretty sure I'm going with the Berkeley 46 best.

    I only brought up the Yaqi, due that it lets you try out a nice quality badger brush for less than $25. This way a person can try something out without a lot of investment. If you like it you could stay with it or look at a much higher end badger; if you didn't like it, you could sell it and loose very little.
