Interesting. Maybe the problem is simply that I'm a face latherer for the most part. I know horse brushes are typically associated with bowl lathering, but I had really hoped that the shorter loft...

Well, after all that I finally managed to borrow a friend's Vie-Long 12705B, a 24mm white horse hair knot in a fan shape, and... I really did not like it! It took hard soap really well produced good...
