Great work!! Bob. These are not only top notch reviews of TBS synthetic, but great tutorials for the new wetshaver. Thanks for your time Bob!
Thanks. That's what we hope the chronicles will be, a user manual for each brush that anyone can look at and know how to make the brush work.
On a personal note, I have The Body Shop Synthetic Brush and didn't like the way it lathered compared to either a badger or boar. I don't think it's suitable for it. I had similar problems with the stiffness of the bristles. And the same airy lather. I have found a use for it though. I use it for applying talc after I shower. It's great for that.
It can be a frustrating brush, for sure. Since so many users of it have never tried a brush and cream or soap before, giving them some tips and tricks to make it work can only help keep them from going back to the dark side.
