I would look at the Simpson Trafalgar line. Pretty decent brushes for the money.
Yaqi !!
I second the Yaqi. Also just picked up a Razorock plissoft silvertip that I am very happy with.

Especially considering the required price point. Yaqi all the way
Really for the price they can't be beat. Also, and there are differences in the knots so you have some play in your preferences.

oh ya and you can easily justify getting a few different ones at the price point or sale
I have Yaqis...I have Simpson Trafaalgars.
Simpson gets the nod....

Yaqi Segrada Familia were on offer this week for £5.35 including shipping.
Another vote for the Simpson Trafalgar line.
I have the T2 and consider it to be an excellent synthetic brush - especially for the money.

There will be a link for a $7.00 handle defect brush in the seller reccomendations on the same page.
I just got a Yaqi segrada familia 24mm tuxedo In the mail. I should have done more research before I placed an order because I'm not sure I like it...at least not yet...a bit too big and WAY too dense.
That being said, I bet most shavers would like it. It's certainly high quality for what I paid. So I do recommend Yaqi for synthetics... Just do a better job of researching the different knots than I did.

Not sure what these would cost where you are but I am partial to these:
This is no longer sold at L'Occitane, but if you can find its equivalent you would have a GREAT brush.
I really like this brush as well. Muhle 31K 256 Silver Tip fiber.

Of the synths I've tried, I *really* like my Razorock 400 Noir the best. If you can find it in stock anywhere. I "had" to buy some special edition metal handle version to get one (that bumped the price a bit) but I reach for it time and again. It lathers easily in a bowl or on my face. It is soft as a breeze on my face. It splays easily when I want it to and not when I don't.
I really like it. I may have mentioned that already.

Yaqi do a version if this. I also have the L'Occitane and the RR Plissoft.
It is difficult to recommend a brush that works for you. It depends on whether you prefer face lathering or making lather in a bowl. I suggest that you don't spend a lot of money in the beginning if you are not so familiar with synthetic brushes. In this jungle of brushes you can really miss if you buy an expensive brush that for example don't work for face lathering.
I only do face lathering and the brushes I recommend is Yaqi Chianti's 24mm and Yaqi Segrada Familia.

I bowl lather!
I am not massively fussy, the brush i have now is just dropping bristles everywhere and in a few more shaves will be useless. But i think for now a Yaqi one will be fine.
