The Alexander Simpson Barbican is a boar-bristle shaving brush with a faux-ivory handle. Choose this natural-bristle model if you want an alternative to synthetic fibre. Its approximate 22mm knot and 105mm overall height give you useful measurements for comparing it with your existing brush.
The handle is approximately 52mm high, with a 53mm bristle loft. Consider both measurements when deciding how much handle you want to hold and how the brush will sit in your shaving bowl. The Barbican is the boar-bristle option, not a Platinum or Sovereign synthetic model.

I've moved from badger to boar due to using soaps instead of creams. The boar bristles are stiffer and better suited to soaps. This lathers up well and softens the beard ready to shave.
It may cause a lot of hair loss, but it was very comfortable.
The hair loss has already stopped.
I am very satisfied.
