I also heard bad things about Vielong horse brushes - though if I remember well @WegianWarrior@sub.wetshaving.social uses them from time to time.

As for the antihype: several wettubers (well, at least 2) sometimes use Zenith horse brushes, and have nice things to say about them: our own @sgrdddy@sub.wetshaving.social, and also Johann from Shave and Butcher.
