Yea, sounds like The Body Shop's brush I had.

Bob

Yea, same hair do different dresses.

I hope it is not like The Body Shop's brush. That was a brush I could not stand to use and gave it to the boss to use as a make up brush. It was like trying to face lather with a knot made of quills....

The tips are soft on the Muhle STF and the Simpsons Chubby 2 synthetic that I have. They possibly softer tips than the silver tip badgers I have. I have one of the original Simpson Chubby2 synthetics...

If by not quite there yet you mean mimicking a badger silver tip you are right and I don't think they will ever totally duplicate a badger silver tip. I just accept them as an entirely different...

Yes, at that price that would be exactly what I'd do any why also. For me I just might keep mine for the days when you just want the luxury of a plush pillow to face lather with. It fits that niche...

Jury is out on that one for me at least. It works alright but I prefer a little more backbone in a synthetic like the Simpsons Chubby2 synthetic has. The Plisson reminds me a bit of the soft...

That is a good price. I just bought one from a L'Occitane retail outlet in Canada for $58 CAD.
