And right you are.Nothing could be further from the truth.
(Sometimes one just cannot help loathing the Internet for all the rubbish that people post, can one?)
When Shavemac introduced synthetic brushes I was one of the first to order.
On that occasion, I spoke to Bernd, owner of Shavemac, on the phone and asked whether by chance he might use the same fibres as Mühle.
Not only did he tell me in no uncertain terms that they were NOT the same as Mühle, when telling me he almost sounded dismayed that I had even dared to bring up this question.
And as soon as I had received my first Shavemac synthetic, I could see and feel that for myself.
B.
In the meantime I ordered a custom Shavemac Synth from Bernd and it's a very different animal. Way more scrubby and with much more backbone so more in line with their D(ense) badger hair grades.
