I used to think the same until we took delivery of the Muhle Anniversary Synthetic Brush, wow, this is something else!There are many excellent reasons to go synthetic. They now offer the most practical combined with the best value-for-money brush offering. But no synthetic brush that I've yet tried has the same 'feel' as a high-end badger and, for now, my Plisson-style synth remains a travel/change-of-pace option.
I've had my eyes on that - it's such a beautiful handle!I used to think the same until we took delivery of the Muhle Anniversary Synthetic Brush, wow, this is something else!

My thoughts exactly.There are many excellent reasons to go synthetic. They now offer the most practical combined with the best value-for-money brush offering. But no synthetic brush that I've yet tried has the same 'feel' as a high-end badger and, for now, my Plisson-style synth remains a travel/change-of-pace option.
I can't say that I'll be trying this brush any time soon in view of the price; in all honesty I was shocked by the price. Currently I own three synthetic brushes: Muhle medium, Simpson Classic 1 and Kent Infinity. I use the Muhle for travel because it dries very quickly and makes a tolerable lather; however, the other two sit in the bottom of a drawer gathering dust as I can't make an enjoyable lather with either and their face-feel leaves much to be desired. I also own 30 badger brushes of different grades and from a variety of makers and one Omega boar, all of which I prefer to my Muhle. The only brush I preferred my Muhle over was a Vie Long horse, which I've had re-knotted with a TGN finest 2-band and it's now one of my favourites.I used to think the same until we took delivery of the Muhle Anniversary Synthetic Brush, wow, this is something else!
