I have been using an Omega 10290 with outstanding results. I am now preparing to sell my badger brushes. I would like to get a Boar with a larger knot; maybe a Semogue 2000 or Omega 49. Wish I had tried one of these as my first brush; as opposed to dropping ~ $190 on badger brushes (and I am sure some guys have spent much more).
YMMV, but boars work well for me.
