    Well - I still wish I had bought the non XS version, but it has its uses. I find that with extremely soft soaps (such as Marduk by AYLM), it’s easier to have a very soft brush, and the XS horse works very well with that. Also, I kinda got used to it being soft and floppy - we’ll see on the 1st of September how I’m dealing with a more normal brush.

    But the brush itself has held up well: no tangling of the bristles, and for now no visible splitting of the hair either (even though with the fanning out of the knot, something somewhere must have changed).

            Since you have all the brushes: is this the softest and least backbone one can get, or is anything else even softer?

              I have tons of boars and all manner of badgers, but my horse collection is tiny, since so many of them are reportedly harsh.

              But of all the research I did, the XS Zenith was by far said to be the softest horse option.

              Whichever of the hairs is softer (maybe the mane), if it is increased too much, the brush is truly floppy.
