Anyone care to show off their
Synthetic brushes?
Do you use them in rotation with animal hair brushes or do you solely use synths as I do?
Are you happy with them?
What, if any, synths are on your want list?
Here are mine, L to R:
Razorock Bruce 24mm
AP Shave Co Synbad, elegant emerald handle, 24mm
Muhle STF, 23mm
I'm very happy with these. I had a Yaqi black marble tuxedo until recently but really couldn't warm to it against these 3, bristles felt plastic-y & glue bump was huge. That said, I'm more for painting lather on rather than really scrubbing a brush into my face, but regardless the Yaqi just didn't do it for me.
Am happy with my current trio, only thing I dislike is the ergonomics of the Muhle, the RR & AP are so much easier to hold. The AP handle is a delight. Nice clean lines, with no pronounced ridges.
The only synths on my radar are a couple of the 3-band style ones with white tips, and even then mainly for aesthetic reasons (& because I like soft tips): the Vie Long blue handled one which I keep seeing on the SOTDs of
@Sylviansghost and the Razorock BC Silvertip Plissoft. Only thing with the BC is that I believe the handle is somewhat heavy & bulky, it would be great to have that Silvertip knot on an hourglass type handle like the Bruce.
