I have both B9a and ZT3 (and also a full B9a brush on the way), just used the ZT3 for the third time now and it obliterates b9a in my opinion. My preliminary numerical ranking of ZT3 vs B9a would be:
ZT3: 9.8/10 (don't want to give anything 10, just in case something better even exists)
B9a: 8.8/10

Man, I was there sitting earlier, re-thinking everything after using ZT3.
Existential Questions like: Should I even get a Varlet anymore? Should I sell everything and just buy more Zt3s? all those came up earlier to me.
I don't know what it is, it has a SUPERB backbone, but somehow super soft pillowy feel that is addictive to me. I on a waitlist for a handle, which I will then send for another Zt3 for sure

Was the other brush the varlet?

could you compare the face feel and knot density to your varlet (s)? (either XD or HD)?

I will if that OK
There is virtually no delta between Varlet knot and Mozingo to my limited experience of 4 ZT1 & ZT2 vs 2 Varlet Rangers. IF there a delta, it that Varlet a little puffier but well and truly gilding the lilly while Mozingo little more dense but damn a very little. Both are about as perfect knots as can be had (neither owning BE nor Wiborg). Preference is for Mozingo handles ergonomically but the look of the Varlet material in white is impressive. In final analysis, actively trying to get more customs from Brett but not yet selling the Varlets.
