A couple days ago I bought Simpson colonel X2L and Muhle synthetic,
both are very quality brushes , but they are way too soft for me.
In fact, these two brushes convince me to be a boar-guy and I ordered another two: SOC and 610.
I had SOC before, but my brother took it.
SOC got the first shave last night, it's so wonderful.
After trying best badger, I think SOC is like a badger rather than a boar.
It is soft and maybe a bit pricky for some gents, but I sure you those pricky feeling would vanish soon.
It has enough backbone, you do not need much pressure when face-lathering.
It is also dense, the lather waiting for my second pass still stuck on the tips of hairs.
(when laying hair-up-handle-down.)
My another omega 11037 does not hold lather as SOC.
Finally, SOC does not need much time to get broken-in.
Share with you my photos.
