As a matter of fact, I think that this brush will require me to rethink my approach to brushes and lathering. I will have to "learn" this brush in order to get the best out of it.
I think that's a good thing. Something different, something else to learn.
Same thing happened to me with my recent TGN High Mountain White. It took a few days to tune in, but it's a winner so far. If I bowl lather it overflows with just a little soap or cream.

Good luck.
