Has anyone tried the new synthetic offerings by Asylum Brushworks @ Bullgoose? If so, how do they compared to other current synthetic brushes? Thanks.
My next synthetic will be the Muhle v.2 with a 26 mm knot. I want to see how it compares with the Asylum brush.
I mostly face lather and i find it that you have to press pretty hard for the brush to open up and not be pointy. However, it still made a nice lather and the flow through is excellent as expected.

This pretty much sums up my experience with the Asylum Cheswick. I only used it a couple of times before it wound up in the back of the brush drawer. It makes great lather and the flow-thru is great but it works best with painting strokes. I just couldn't get it to splay right. If I decide to try another synthetic, it will be one of the Plisson style knots without as much backbone.
I can't help but wonder how the brush would feel on the face if the knot were set about 5 mm higher.
