I am asking this question because I got one, and I just don't see the appeal. I want to learn how to appreciate this brush, but it's hard when:
It doesn't want to splay. I have to paint the lather on.
It won't make lather with the tips, when I try the Italian Barber process, which has become my go-to lathering process.
It splatters lather on my mirror.
The brush is a Simpson Duke 3 with Platinum bristles. It should be a good synthetic brush, but I'm having trouble figuring out what's good about it.
