Boti or DSCosmetics boar

I’m after a boar knot and I think it’s between these two:

I think I’m leaning toward the DS knot but does anyone have experience of either or even a better knot? Cheers.

I can vouch for the 26mm DSC plisoft. I bought one of their brushes and they are awesome. Usable right away, no stink and great performance. Boti does great products too but I haven't tried one of their boar knots.

Master Paul, there are so many great options for boars from Omega, Semogue or Zenith.

Why bother with Chinese? I only buy synthetics from them.

Pricy Zenith, cheap Omega 10019.

Zenith for me and especially their unbleached knots are the pinnacle of boar knots. Ruddy marvellous so they are.

Because I have a couple of 29mm handles available.

Yes - I could liberate a Zenith unbleached knot from one of their handles

No splay and no problem with the Zenith 506 @chazt sent me.

I agree with the consensus. Zenith are excellent unbleached knots. I‘ve also enjoyed Omega boar knots. While I like them both, they do feel “different” from one another; as though the Zenith bristles are a wee bit thinner.

Bob Quinn at Elite razor dot com sells bleached 28mm boar knots. They are excellent and very inexpensive. It may not be worth the shipping cost to you.
