Thanks for you replies so far and always appreciated here.
I never thought of holding the knot close to the handle so I am going to give it a try this evening and see how I get on. Plus take on board your other hints. Do I need to soak the brush thoroughly prior to use?
The other thing I never thought of is I have an Omega someone gave me a long time ago and I recall all it says is bristle. Do I take it to be a boar? I also remember it has a very tall loft. Time to dig it out when I get home.
Spot on. The soap as well as being harder, is also more concentrated. As a result you need to release less of it from the puckNeeding a brush with plenty of backbone for triple-milled soaps is a bit of a myth I think, I have equal results with a floppy synthetic brush or a finest badger brush with plenty of backbone.
As I wrote on a recent SOTD I struggle to understand natural brushes and yet I would love to add one to the fold. I just cannot get my head around making the same quality lather as a synthetic which I have no problem at all with in use. The other problem I have is the actual application to ones face.
I have a Traditional Shaving Co best badger (probably not the best by a long shot) and it don't seem to hold the cream to the same level as the synthetic. Then when applying to my face the whole brush just flattens out with a very defined hole in the middle.
In general a long way of what I can achieve with my Muhle synth.
Am I missing some big point or is it simply synthetics are actually all That?
If it comes down to brush quality then any hints as to any recommendations and what do I need to look for when buying a natural fibre brush.
