The quality of the lather I'm getting is very nice but the quantity is certainly less than I get with my old AoS "genuine badger" brush. I have plenty of lather for two or three passes but I have not yet learned to build a great lather in great quantity. To be clear, I don't consider this a problem, merely an example of how my own skills need to evolve.
I've developed quite an interest in the different synthetic knots and I have two more on the way, both in 24mm, a Game Changer and a Sunrise knot. I intend to purchase a Tuxedo and an Ubersoft 2 knot and work up a review. To this end I'm trying to order everything in 24mm and mount them in similar handles to keep the variability to a minimum as I investigate how each of these knots perform and feel. Once I'm able to play with each of these knots I'll be sure to pass along my thoughts on each.
