I have two, sent the wrong one first and they told me to keep it. They work nice on hard soaps, not good for creams. They hold too much water for creams.
What site did you get your brush from?Quote:

Chrissss is 100% right!

Different knot size are available - I have the small one. Density is medium to "light"
You should have a look on: MÜHLE Rasurkultur: Rasierpinsel, Rasierer, Skin Care für Männer
Omega makes a decent synthetic, that was really good when it came out, and is a step ahead of most synthetics, but Muehle is a generation ahead of them currently.
I bought an Omega high performance barber pole synthetic.
Absolutely hate it. No backbone - just flops over when wet. Poor job of holding soap and water.
Has about the same feel as a soaking wet cotton ball.
The worst brush I have ever used.
Sorry, don't own an Omega synthetic but do own 2 Muhle synthetic silver tip brushes, one travel and the other the XL. They have enough backbone to easily load up MWF, Tabac and DR Harris Arlington and do a great job with creams. Keep in mind this is with face lathering, I don't use a bowl. The XL feels soft on the face but if you lean into it a bit you can feel the scrub. To me an excellent balance of soft tips and stiffness. I had heard that synthetics don't hold as much water as badgers but after using the XL I really have to wonder about that. Very happy with them.

I have no doubt about your test but you should try my Vulfix naylon brushQuote:

The "King" in useless knots.

No, No , No, the king of useless synthetic knots is, maybe, the TBS one. Almost turned me off of trying another synthetic. I am glad it did not do so.
