Keep in mind with synthetic knots it depends on the type of synthetic fiber and loft used as to how they will feel and act. They certainly are not all exactly the same. One I have is soft as silk on the face with little backbone and one has soft tips, backbone and a lowered loft. The last one feels similar like a 2 band badger to me. What they have in common is that both will easily lather anything I have used.
