Synthetic ?

I have been a confirmed synthetic brush user for at least five years starting a few generations back. I think they are simply "the answer". Anytime I even think about even using a natural hair brush I break out the ol' "marble polisher" Zenith boar I have. I gave up trying to break it in. Tried every shortcut method on the Internet and it's still harder than a whore's heart. :rolleyes:

You want to try a Shavemac D01 two band, it's like lathering your face with a pineapple.
 
I have a few synths inc larger 26 & 28 mm lather machines but honestly the Fine Stout 24mm "Angel Hair" is a fantastic little brush. (I mostly face lather) Great for travel too. I've just got a Razorock Snowman which could be a real contender and perhaps a better size for bowl lathering but the Fine 24 is a beauty. Enough backbone and kittenesque with it.
 
I reckon I've got about 15 brushes - badger, boar, horse. All have their strengths and weaknesses. I'm a Yaqi convert now owning two - the bang for buck is amazing. It's fair to say I'm a convert, albeit I won't abandon the old school.
