They are good for travel because they dry fast.
If you use it like a badger it will fling lather around the bathroom. It's the spring back. But if you move slower you won't have that problem.
I have an EVO that is better at splaying than many of the synthetics. It does require a fair amount of pressure to keep it splayed, but it does a fine job. I rarely use it at home, but I'm delighted to use it as a travel brush.
I think your best bet is to treat it as a different animal. Swirl slower, even with brush strokes it's not a bad idea to move a little slower at the end of the stroke. Appreciate it for what it is, not how it differs from your favorite brushes.
