Siv's Top 10 Synthetic Brushes (Summer 2009)

Excellent review - thanks for sharing!
I don't have the TOBS synthetic, but I can certainly vouch for Siv's #2 choice - the EJ synthetics. The Chatsworth is my daily brush and I also have the Diffusion model. I have no problem making ample lather with these brushes, plus they feel and look great.

I just wanted to say great job!
I have not been able to find a good review of synthetic brushes anywhere else. This list will be very helpful to me!

I think it's time for an update. I have a Parker Synthetic, a few Golden nib brushes and another "vegan" brush from eBay.
I'm very curious to see how you rate the Parker.
Just wanted to chime in with my thanks for your reviews.
Based largely upon what you said I had a custom brush put together (I don't see why us synthetic users shouldn't get gloriously luxurious brushes like the badger botherers!)
Don McIvor made me a wonderful handle and mounted a TOBS knot in there for me - the result is rather glorious!
Delighted to say it performs as good as it looks!

Looking forward to it. I use the EJ brushes, but am in the market for a few more.
Siv, thank you for this thoughtful and comprehensive analysis. It took a lot of work and we appreciate your insights.

My wife is going to Dallas to see Bon Jovi this weekend so once the kids are asleep, I'll get a chance to play!
Here's a teaser:

How was the concert the wife went to??
O.K, enough of the small talk.
Have you been able to test the new brushes? Update? Update?

well i have the jack black pure performance brush and love it.also i have the body shop brush and its nice. i also just received this yesterday -http://www.shoeboxshaveshop.com/om40gomebato.html. and would really like to pickup the parker brush.
Looks like Siv hasn't posted in awhile. Maybe he's forgotten to update this Top 10.
I have an Omega synthetic but I'm really curious as to whether the Jack Black or the EJ synth brushes are good at face lathering. I face-lather exclusively now, and while I'm interested in synthetic brushes I don't want to go back to the bowl.
