I have the 830 and SOC, the 830 uses the same bristle as the 1305. I would say that the SOC is much denser and has bristle with more spring. The softness at the tips is about the same once both are broken in, the SOC gives you a wall of bristle feel. So basically the SOC is a bigger denser brush, I personally like both a lot.

Congrats - both very nice brushes. And a nice bit of homage to your Grandpa too!
They are different. To me, what makes the most difference is the knot diameter and the density.
Think of the SOC as the 1305 on steroids
I have both. They're great brushes, but I find that the SOC is actually a little too large. Love the 1305.

Hehe, yes, good description!
I own both, and my opinions are exactly opposite of yours.
I agree. For me, the SOC has more backbone, and the 1305 has softer tips.
My SOC also has more backbone than my 1305 - as well as being bigger, the knot feels significantly denser too.
But as the SOC is getting more and more broken-in, the tips are getting softer and softer - so while the 1305 had softer tips earlier on, I reckon my two are now similar in terms of softness.

Same here...
