I recently purchased this brush from Tony at PenWorks/TGN. It has a 22mm Super Silvertip knot set at a 48mm loft in Briarwood poly resin. I love the fact that the handle is resin so I don't have to be so careful about submersing it in water like I would if it were real wood.
After trying to use it like my EJ medium BBB a couple of times and getting mediocre lather at best I turned to my brothers here at B&B and discovered that siilvertips often require more product in order to get a good lather.
Last night I used twice as much DR Harris almond SC than I normally do and had a scuttle full of lather left over after doing 4 passes.
My question is this: Will I always need more product using this silvertip or will it decrease as the brush is broken in?
