Fwiw, I was someone who did not like a Chubby 2 synthetic - I found it basically to be too much soft fiber. And the lather sat deeply towards the handle. Just didn’t work for me. Sold it. And then I found the Simpson synthetic I would highly recommend: the M7. Longer handle is the right size; the fiber density and feel is right and no more lather just piling up towards the handle Have used it for a week now and it’s the first synthetic I’m keeping (I’ve tried six others now). And not that expensive if you order from Simpsons directly.
