Are Synthetic Brushes the Way of the Future?

Blagoja Rajevski they just popped in your original post.

OK, I know nothing about synthetics other than the original Plisson sold by L'Occitane. So currently what is the best synthetic brush that is not a Chubby. I understand they don't bloom so, for example, 24 mm stays at 24.

So which one would you buy?

My first was a Wolf Whiskers with an Ubersoft 2 knot.  It is perfect!  I just got a few from RazoRock and they seem lovely at a great price.

I think so. I used to not give Synthetics the time of day, but the more I use it, the more I'm liking it. I think my badger and boar purchases will definitely slow down now and I'll focus more on synthetics. They are cheaper, the one that I have does not hog lather, makes easy lather with any soap I use, and the brush dries a lot quicker. What's not to like?

I'm reserving future boars and badger purchases for limited runs and group buys that I like, but other than that, I'm focusing on synthetics all the way.

I can't wait to see what they come up next with Synthetics.

and gone again I guess lol

Like gwsmallwood I was holding out for a fan-shaped knot. Now that they exist, I really need to try one. I like my synthetic and, in theory, it's superior to my badgers and boars in every way. In practice, however, well, I really don't know what my problem is except that, like they would say in the backwoods of Missouri, it just ain't natural.

It's the soullessness... It's great, but there's no life in that knot

grim depends on what you're looking for but a couple of immediate choices:

1. 24mm razorock Plissoft. Great face feel but still plenty of backbone
2. 24mm DeLuxeShaving Retro; VERY luxurious while still being effective

Hard to narrow it down as with anything but those are a couple with low cost of entry, great value and I would guess you'd be pleased with either. Or both

Wait this thread got me thinking, is there a fan shaped synthetic know available these days?

I think it's very hard to beat something from razorock, stirling or maggards in terms of quality for the price.

Thanks for the answers. Will check into them.
