I have to say, after three shaves, maybe four, I'm getting used to it. It does a truly great job lathering soaps (today was MWF) and requires no pre-soaking like we usually do with our badgers and boars. Face feel will take more time to get used to and it won't replace anything for me nor lead me to buy more synthetic knot brushes but it doesn't suck as much as I first said. But the handle is probably too short for the knot size in both dimensions. I guess you have to look at these synth brushes as different as boar and badger are from each other. All in all, probably worth the $22.
