Is there a good synthetic for hard soaps, I've been considering the TOBS, any thoughts?
Synthetic For Soaps?

TOBS is considered to be the best synthetic. The crimped hairs mean it holds more lather than other synthetics. Each hair has a tapered tip to make it very soft, yet it still has backbone.
I think that eventually synthetic brushes will beat badger, because you can tailor the exact properties of every single hair, whereas with badger you are stuck with what nature gives you.
The TOBS is the first step down this route and so is engineered far better than any other synthetic brush. I had a play with one the other day in the TOBS shop in London and it is very impressive.
I have no knowledge to compare one synthetic to another, but i know my Men-u synthetic has no trouble with soaps.
I just went and did a lather with Cade which was dry at the time. A thirty second soak for the brush, maybe 10 seconds to load and in 2 minutes I have 3-4 good passes of top notch lather
