Does that count as a rotation?

I am considering a SOC 2-band though, speedy must like them to have two on the go!

@Nonick I've already had my SOC 2-Band Badger in Cherry Wood for about 5 or 6 months ago once the tips has soften up after about 15 or 25 used either hand or bowl lather the tips will soften up some badger hair will started to curl (more) and therefore starting to feel more like "gel" tips, and once this is done and starting to feel more like "gel" tips you can face lather without any scritching or scratchy feel and it worth the wait and it worth getting this SOC 2-Band Badger and the backbone is fantastic believe me their is nothing wrong with SOC 2 Band Badger.

Further more make sure you get yours from vintagescent.com why because they've change the 2 band badger hair around April or June this year because they were many men complaining about scritching or scratchy feel, since I got the new SOC 2 Band Badger in Ash Wood the tips are soft with the latest badger hair so no more scritching or scratchy feel which means you can use the brush straight away. Keep mind those they do have the previous old version of the SOC 2 Band Badger in stock and they do have scritching or scratchy feel so make sure you get the latest version of the new SOC 2 Band Badger, and IF you didn't get the latest SOC 2 Band Badger please don't worry as I said before the tips has soften up after about 15 or 25 used either hand or bowl lather the tips will soften up some badger hair will started to curl (more) and therefore starting to feel more like "gel" tips the more you used it believe me you'll love it as I love mine very much.

Or what I normally do I send an email to vintagescent.com to make sure you want the latest SOC 2 Band Badger hair without the scritching or scratchy feel before you make an order that way you don't get caught out.

PS. I got the old version of the SOC 2 Band Badger in Cherry Wood with the scritching or scratchy feel from The Stray Whisker.

Would love to get some thoughts on the Zeniths...
 
@alfredus
Honestly, the zenith TVB boar is amongst my all time favorite brush.
It's 55mm loft and looks like an omega but trust me, it's way better than any omega!

The knot is denser but the bristles are finer so don't give a "broom" feel like the omega. It's a perfect balance between semogue and omega.

But for overall luxury, I prefer my semogue boars. The lather is always great and the face feel is awesome.
