The longer you use it, the better it works.
A Scuttle is great to use with a synthetic brush, especially during the winter.
I've been thinking about this. A nice warm lather would be a treat.

Nice!I “dipped the tips” this weekend had great success!
With my experience I only soak the brush for 30 seconds. I don't know if there is any benefit. And when I say soaking I mean running it under warm warm water for 30 seconds or so!Is there any benefit to soaking the brush or do you guys just wet it and go? I know genuine hairs benefit from a soak to moisten and expand them but was wondering if there’s any benefit at all for the synthetics. Thanks!
Is there any synthetic that is able to hold a bit of water? Lately I got more creams and croaps so I get some and put it directly on my face and skip the bowl. But my RazoRock 400 (black knot) don't hold the water, lather yes. A little preasure and the soapy water runs out from the bottom and on my shirt. Quite anoying

Well when they hold water how does it come that a little preasure let it flow out the bottom?
The PAA brushes do look nice.
The synthetic fibers hold so much water between them so well, that if you soak your brush that water will be trapped between them and only released when you splay the knot. Thats why it runs everywhere. Synthetic fibers dont need to be soaked, they're very stable and dont swell or soften from water.
Both of these comments explain how a synthetic knot acts if not used properly. There are enough experiences posted in todays forum about how to properly lather with a synthetic brush yet there are still many that try to use one like a natural haired brush and wonder why they fail or in most cases to make their explanation of why natural is better than synthetic!!It happens with mine because as the brushes fibers bend when lathering, they separate and the water trapped between them starts to flow. My first few shaves with a synthetic I had water dripping off my elbow. That was with a well shaken out brush that had been soaked. I was treating it the same as my boar. That was my mistake.
Its always easier to add water to a lather than remove it.

I've got a great badger silver tip I've had for about 15 years. Recently, against my prejudices, I tried a new $10 'plissoft' synthetic from Razorock. Is there any reason to continue to buy expensive animal hair brushes anymore? The synthetic is as soft or softer and holds enough water for my purposes, plus it dries so much faster, which is great for travel. I never would have believed synthetic bristles would perform so well.
