Well, times have seen me no longer own a single cream, and I’ve transitioned back to that old AoS brush from my Simpson brush because it laters faster and doesn’t get all sloppy. But now I’m wishing I had the rigidity or backbone of the AoS brush, with the soft of my Simpson.

I want a brush to love.

Anyway, I was going to buy a bunch of synthetics (they are in my cart lol) and try to find a winner, until reading your thread. I don’t know anyone who doesn’t like thier Thater. Maybe that’s how I need to go.

Thanks for the review.
Synthetics, if you get a quality one will lather just as good as a premium badger however it all ends there. They are all business and no pleasure. Once you have used a good badger I can't see how anyone would prefer a synthetic except maybe for travel. They are real convenient for that cause they dry real fast.

If you prize the luxury sensation badger is the way to go.
