UPDATE:
I've had a complete turn around with this brush this week. My notes show that last Friday 1/15/16 was the last day of poor performance. That was the 21st shave with the brush and my notes say, "lather was terrible! Too thin and not enough product for more than one pass".
On the very next day my notes say, "lather was Awesome! Super thick, slick, and enough lather for way more than three passes. Brush is finally working".
Every shave since has been excellent. I can't believe how quickly it just made a 180 and started performing. I did hand lather a few times to try soaps that I received in the mail; but, for the most part it took exactly 3 weeks of shaves and then turned into a completely different experience. Now it holds way more lather than I will ever need, it's always felt great but it's getting even better, and it does not seem to devour soap like it did when new. At least now it turns the devoured soap into lather!
I probably prefer my synthetics more because they make less mess and I think that they are way more efficient with the amount of product they use. I seem to like the shorter loft and more backbone of the 610. I'll enjoy rotating them now.
