Yes. Performance is the main reason, my Ever-Ready 150 that Gary re knotted with a synthetic will out perform any natural hair brush I have, the Plisson is a fantastic brush. They don't shed, they dry within minutes. I'll keep and continue to use the natural hair brushes I have, but I don't see me buying any new ones.
Noo idea. It was out 5:45am to 7:10am. Realized an interesting flaw in the building: The underground car garage doors can't be opened manually during a power outage. Had a small line of cars with some very frustrated people in them. Overheard one lawyer cancelling a case over her cell phone - and another just cursing
I'm not. I'm going to continue to use them, I don't think I'll be buying anymore natural bushes in the future.
Oh gosh. I may have 10 or so, I have bruises that I haven't used yet. It may be more. Not good. I really try not to think about it. Luckily a brush is just a brush to my wife.
I have a number of brushes. Luckily my wife doesn't look in my den. I don't have a synthetic brush, however, I may have to get one.
Synthetic brushes have really changed the way I build a great lather for the good, and this has made my shaves consistently better.
Pick up an Omega S Brush. It's the least expensive way to give them a try. I'm starting to really like mine. At the very least it makes a great travel brush. Think soft like a mid tier badger, but backbone closer to a boar.
I'm waiting for my Gillette Fatboy to be plated with Rhodium by Razor Emporium which I should get back in another week. I am also waiting for my custom brush frm Wolf Whiskers which I just orderd 2 days ago (can't wait). I'm like a kid in a candy shop.
