I'm having a heck of a time getting this brush to release lather. There's tons of lather deep in the brush but it won't come out unless I aggressively palm lather and then apply by hand. Any suggestions? Face lathering doesn't work particularly well. Hard to make brush splay and when I do it loses its softness.....
You're not alone. The only way I've found to release enough lather is to mash the sucker onto my face. I've heard that the test groups all asked for a higher loft, but Simpsons didn't listen. I posted this same problem earlier in the thread and still saw a lot of love for this brush. I've given it 5 or 6 chances now and while my last shave was decent enough I don't like to work this hard for lather. There are $20 Plisson style knots for sale from everyone that blow this thing away.
