If you can't or won't adapt your technique to how a particular brush wants to be treated you are done for. Some people probably expected it,wrongly, to behave like a badger. If you want a badger buy a badger. It definitely is not a brush for everyone especially since some of the brush experts are turning their noses up at it. It is a bit pricey to take a chance on.

I think you hit the nail on the head ! Simpson's is so known for their badger even though it says Synthetic the expectation was similar performance and usage. I have found the Plisson Synthetic the most user friendly out the box, as well as the black fibre Muhle , but like you said you must be able to bend a bit to adapt, I actually couldn't agree stronger and that is with anything in life. Sincerely I am happy to hear a good review. Thanks again you may have swayed my buying choice ( though you will seriously need to pry my Marfin or Chubby 3 from my dead hands) :)
