Earlier this month I opted for the wee scott badger brush so I could use it for travel. I will check if it takes longer to dry than the Plisson, but size wise it is perfect for travel.Gordy said:" I use a synthetic as my travel brush. The quick drying time beats any natural hair brush for me! "
This is actually what I've been thinking about recently as drying a brush is going to be nigh on impossible for me when I'm away. I'm not prepared to cut out a good shave when I'm away either, in favour of brushless creams, cartridges, electric or whatever. I've finally found what works for me and I'm not going to change that just because I'm away. Any other travellers having this issue?

With the Plisson I load and lather as I would with any other badger, light swirls to load and paint motions to lather. No mashing or heavy handed abuse.chris.hale said:I agree with Zygalski, you can't treat it like a natural brush and expect the best out of it, you do need to show it a firm hand. Do that and you'll be rewarded with excellent lather, plus the brush dries very quickly and requires almost no care routine.
I find it works best once it's loaded, so it's not my favourite for shave sticks, but from a puck it's great. I do still prefer my big Omega though.
