Thanks Joe! Can you confirm this for sure?

If you can confirm this, that would explain why I found their performance quite similar. The only differences are barely noticeable, since the handles are slightly different and the ABC brush has a marginally whiter hair.

Just tried my 28mm by 50mm for the first time this morning! Outstanding! At first I was concerned with the stiffness of the bristles right out of the box. But after soaking it in very warm water for 15 minutes and three palm lathers, the brush became very pleasant - STRONG backbone, good splay with a very manageable area coverage, powerful scrub, yet very pleasant on my skin. I was so impressed, that I am strongly considering to purchase another Zenith 28 mm boar brush, but with a taller loft.

I am feeling the same way about my new Zenith Boar.

I am also feeling the urge to purchase another Zenith boar. These brushes are just fantastic for the price. Impossible to beat, in my humble opinion...

I am eyeing the Chromed Metal handle Boar Shave Brush. 26x64mm Model B18

You guys [yes, I'm looking at you clint64 ]. I have been resisting the Zenith for a while but with this latest round of extremely favorable reviews, just placed an order with jankdc for the B2. Looking forward to checking it out shortly and happy that all are enjoying the new arrivals.

The irony is, with the pending move, I just packed all my brushes but two. One way to create more variety is to just keep ordering stuff.

Pulled the trigger on a 28x61mm!

It's raining boar! At least we all share the same affliction.
