The Black Boar knot

The knot is deeply disappointing to me. If there is one thing I can't stand in a brush, it is excessive bristle shredding. Yesterday I realized that the soap had sections of bristles of approximately 5mm, I could count more than 15, today I put less pressure loading the soap just the tips with almost no force. But they continue to break, they are so britle, today I count more than 6. It's too soon in August, let's see how it evolves.

The Friodur is outstanding #nostroping and it's performing almost like the first day.
