Maggard Razors Shaving Brush Knot 24mm Mixed 70/30 Badger and Boar

I've lathered this knot about 20 times. It still smells horrible and sheds numerous hairs with each use. It's not comfortable at all to use... tons of stitch and rough on the face. I would not recommend this knot. Not sure why a quality company like Maggards even sells it to be honest.

Je n'ai peut être pas eu de chance mais la brosse est de mauvaise qualité... En tout cas sa fabrication ! elle perd une dizaine de poils à chaque rasage, c'est très pénible. J'ai été habitué à un service de qualité , aujourd'hui je suis déçu. Google Translation: I may have been unlucky but the brush is of poor quality ... In any case its manufacture! she loses about ten hairs with each shave, which is very painful. I have been used to good service, today I am disappointed. Response from Maggard: Since you've just received this knot, you need to allow for 20-30 uses before it should stop shedding. These are made in China, and they do not take a long time brushing out loose hairs from manufacture. They will typically drop 4-10 hairs for the first few uses, then slow down to a couple by 10 uses - and stop entirely by 30 uses. If they continue to shed, we'll replace it.

Been interested in this knot since Maggards started carrying it. I picked up a vintage Peerless handle that I thought it would look good in and picked one up. This is a dense brush and I set it a tad taller than I would have a full badger knot. Wow, I like this knot! Lathers great. A tad scrubby but not prickly at all and I'm sure the softness will continue to increase as the boar hairs start to split. Great backbone. I really dig this knot.
