Having been a wetshaver for about ever, I've been used to doing things a certain way and nice badger brushes (and boar) have been part of that experience. However, the more I use the unknown brand synthetic brush I found at our other place and the recently purchased Trafalgar T2, I really have come to appreciate how quickly they are ready to go (no soaking needed) and how quickly they create very good lather. The T2 is OK but, surprisingly, the unbranded chinese brush is even better because it splays and works better for face lathering.
I've got to get rid of a couple brushes first but I just may shop for the "just right" synth.
