Hi! Cleans really well with fresh water..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.
Smells great. No shedding. No critters harmed. My Edwin Jagger Synthetic is so nice and the lather is illegal! Have fun in our amazing hobby. Best, Ron Eastman
