I gave my new Thäter 4292 23mm a try both last night and tonight. I definitely agree about it not being hungry for suds. Its a nice medium size and loft. The knot has an incredibly soft feel on the face without losing all of its backbone.
It performed well lathering some Calypso Bomb in a Moss scuttle last night. However tonight, it face lathered some Tabac like a champ. I wasn't a big fan of face lathering....but in the name of putting a new brush through its paces I gave it a whirl. I must say I thoroughly enjoyed it this time.
I also give this brush a big thumbs up.
