In application yes but not in material. No matter how much Latin you throw into a sentence does not make it right!A synthetic brush is de facto "old school" in application, but de jure in reality. The same applies to modern "boutique" design SE/DE razors whatever the metal used.

Say it in English, American or otherwise . Latin is not in common usage in the UK unless you are in a court of law or you happen to attend a public school. I'm pleased we agree regarding Synthitic brushes, do we?That's what I just stated.
Good for you, let us know how you get on with thatA chunk of obsidian it is then.. everything else is far too modern... I'll start a new fad: paleo shaving...
There is always the good old fashioned beard... good enough for Australopithecus...

So if the hairs of the brush are animal hair that makes it old school or traditional? Is that what you're quoting? So what about the material the handle is made from or the type of glue used to attach the knot to the handle? From what i've seen there are more brushes made with modern acrylics and new types of thermo resins that weren't around when my grandad was shaving. Oh don't get me wrong there were plastic handles back them but different types of plastic were used. So when do we stop in saying something isn't traditional? Old school I get cos it implies old. But traditional I find harder to narrow down. Also after a basic google search you'll find Vintage Ever-Ready Nylon fiber brushes going back to the 40's. Not saying that everyone used them but they were aboutMost people are wrong then, when I think old school I think what Grandad used to shave with when he was alive. Imo. Edit ,shaving with goo in a can is not traditional shaving, it's modern and so are Synthitic brushes so can not be seen as old school. Again imo.

...Although I haven't done this. I have read that a squirt of an antibacterial hand soap into a bowl and lathering with it can be a good way to gently clean the brush and also to remove any bacteria that may be there...
