Another great lather today from a small brush. This time a beautiful Whiting-Adams badger. Not only does this little badger look awesome buy it performs!  I used it to work up a great face lather with Mitchell’s. 

I think I really like smaller brushes. At the least I prefer them to bigger ones.  What say the group?

Small brushes are fantastic! There's no need for a giant mop just for shaving,... but, the feel of a big boar is easy to love. A razor's a razor, a blade's a blade, and, a brush is a brush.
Boar brushes, brass razors, and hard pucks ARE traditional wet shaving. Everything else is modern day fluff for the girly men.

 Do believe I have heard that before. In a massive boar badger mix. Have you tried one of those?

I've never used any mix, not sure if there is much to gain with those.

That was a good shave with that little brush !I looked around in my shave den and found two of them. One is a Simpson's Wee Scott and the other is an Omega Midget. The Wee Scott me thinks is Tiny category and the Omega midget fits the little brush category with mixed badger and boar hair. I will give it a run !

Not really a gain.  The one I have is a very nice brush. I can not tell any difference from it then any other badger brush. I can not say that it is like a boar at all.
