For the past few weeks, I have used my Mùhle synthetic as I found it was great for creams and felt lovely and soft when face lathering. I decided to give my mixed boar and badger an outing and used it on MWF. This has a Grovenor brush £13 on Amazon . Wow, a super creamy lather whipped in a few seconds! Huge amounts òf wonderful lather. Alĺ types of brushes seem to have their use depending on what soap or cream you are lathering.
