I've used the non-flocked medium mixed in the past, never tried the flocked as didn't think they'd be up to 1st cleans (most of my work is 3-monthly). For the last year or so I've been using the Tecbuk Boar's hair, great little brush with great scrubbing power, however they haven't been available to buy for the last few months so i'm gonna go back to Gardiners again. In your opinion, would the flocked dual trim be better for 1st cleans than the non-flocked? I always rinse off, so that wouldn't be a prob.
