Ultimate backbone?

Gents, what brush have you found to provide a really strong backbone?

For me my Simpson Chubby's.

My Omega Pro 48 has a great deal of backbone.

The backbone of the Shavemac D01 Two Band is only superseded by Lowe's shave brushes

In my den it is the Shavemac d01 2-band for badger, Semogue Barbear Classico Cerda for boar.

My B&B Essential boar seems to be pretty stiff (in a good way) even after being broken in.

Nothing compares to the Shavemac D-01 2-Band; try a 26 X 48mm one and see what you think

My DUKE 2 BEST BADGER!!! Great backbone and soft tips. My favorite brush in my collection, and the best value.

Hey Packtray- you need to me more explicit. Do you refer to boars or badgers? Boars provide more backbone- especially the higher lofted ones.

Sorry about that; boars, please.

The Semogue Barbear Classico Cerda has some serious boar backbone.

The Cerda has good backbone, but the Chubby 2 I had in Super had phenomenal backbone. I can't imagine it in 2 band.

Shavemac D01 two band, Semogue SOC 2012 SE, or this...

Semogue 620.

Cerda

SOC or Omega 98

I know you said boar but the d01 two band is in a class of its own as far backbone goes. I have a Semogue 620, and Owners Club, Omega 49 and B&B. None of them are even close to the d01. Actually I have never found boar brushes to have much backbone once they are broken in.

+1 to this Dustin

And let's not forget about the backbone champion of the world, Rooney Finest:


Second place would be, as Dustin so elegantly said, Shavemac D01 2-band.

And this guy comes in at 3rd place for me, clocking in at 28x46mm:

I just ordered the Semogue Barbear Classico Cerda. Let's see how it goes. Thanks to all for the data.

Omega boar knots seem to hold up backbone wise over time.
