Half A year ago I bought this one, partly from this and from the reviews.
It is still the only brush I have, I have found it
- soft on the face
- Very Efficient I use barely any product to make a tonne of lather
- Very quick to dry and clean and will take a lot of punishment
What I can say negative about it.
- It takes a little more work to lather, (although the bristles are very soft they are still stiffer than badger, which makes it harder to open the breech)
- Don't try it if you like soaps, It is hard to load the brush on soap but will work
- Handle is a bit cheap for the price tag
I find it amazing for saving money on cream, low maintenance. I am looking to try a badger soon though but this has been all I need and does the job really well.

The Men U synthetic shown there seems to be similer to the 23mm synthetic sold by Golden Nib (Penworks). If you have brush handle you can recycle , this is a good way to go the syn. knot sells for about $9.00 US
