I love my omega 10066 and it's currently my only brush. I love it and I'm a dedicated face latherer. Recently I got an old spice mug and it included a beat up T100. Well, I finally got around to restoring it and after much research, settled on a TGN 22mm fan . It's here and I think I made the right choice. It's got a backbone equal to my amazing 10066.
Here is my question. When I set it into the handle opened up to 24mm with a loft of 46mm, it seems mighty stiff. The attached pictures show the dry fit. Will it soften up and bloom when wet? I didn't think it possible, but I'm concerned that my new badger brush may be too stiff! Should I tape it in and use it or should it just throw a penny in there?
