In a recent perusal of the Gifts & Care site, I noticed that Vie-Long has a number of mixed-knot brushes available: horse-synth, boar-synth, horse-boar, and horse-badger. Anyone try these? I have used the horse-badger extensively in the past, and while it's not my favorite knot for face lathering, it does have its all-around appeal.
My understanding is that synths don't need to be soaked, horse needs a short soak, badger a medium soak and boar a long soak. So I wonder about short soak-long soak horse-boar combo. As it is 70% boar, a long soak time then?
