    I just ordered The Holy Black custom synthetic brush. Looking forward to getting it in with all the other things I ordered.

    I think this post sums up about 95% of wet-shaving :rofl:

    The Kong just looks way too big for my face, even though it seems like a nice brush.
    There certainly are a lot of choices out there now though

    I've got a Plisson knot in a different handle and a Plissoft barber handle (pictured above) on the way. The barber handle was part of the reason I bought it, and the price was hard to disagree with.

    IB Plissoft in the Barber Handle. Not sure about the knot, but the handles are almost identical, so far as I can tell.

    I think I'm sold on the Plissoft myself

    I just got my Plissoft today and I am amazed how it feels. (Dry). I am going to use it the next coming days but man. It is amazingly soft.

    I cannot say enough good things about the RR Plissoft. It is a brush that can compete with much more expensive choices. It has the Plisson type synthetic knot, but it is more dense and seems to be a wider knot. For $10 this brush has blown me away. The handle is on the heavy side and feels durable, and the knot is great for face lathering.

    I have two brushes that I believe use the same fiber as the Plissoft. One is the Plisson, the other is The Grooming Company. The Plissoft sounds like it would be right in between the other two in terms of loft and backbone, which would make it just about perfect. I'll probably get one next year.

    My Plissoft just came in today. Holy s***! I don't think I'll ever need another brush unless it's another Plissoft. I thought my Pro 49 could whip up a lather....this thing is effortless and feels like a damn cloud on my face.

    It will take a while to notice, but you'll soon find that your soaps are magically lasting longer too.

    They don't hog soap. It releases more soap so you don't need to load as much. Fantastic brush.

    Small detail maybe but I prefer my synthetic shaving brushes to be true vegan ie not dyed to look like badger.

    I picked up a "scratched logo" Stirling 22mm when I ordered some soaps and it's quickly becoming my favorite brush. So much so that I'm thinking of using it as my sole brush of January 2016! Some might consider it too small, but it fits great in the hand in both weight and balance.
    Super soft, solid backbone and making great lather!

    Great thread!
