Hi mates!
Reading this thread now I feel that I'm not alone... I have tested many synthetics trying to understand the "marvellous" reviews that I read in many forums about them, but in most of the cases (muhle, edwin jagger, Vie-Long, artisan Druida....) I found the same problems that you are telling with splay/density which made them almost inusable for facelathering... The only one that it is more confortable in that way (but still far from a good badger) is a Plisson L'Occitane (but is almost too soft even) and I keep it for using in travel and/or with problematic soaps because like all synthetics it lathers like a dream (the main advantage that I found in this kind of hair appart from how fast it dries). Oh, and I owned a Maggards plissoft 22 mm which was only acceptable, but still on the too-firm side for my liking...
IMHO synthetic hair still must improve the springness/splay for facelathering in the way that it should have a more natural flexible behaviour when applied to the face...
Regards
