As for the EVO brushes, I like them so much that I now own two. It was not until tonight, while checking a few facts before responding to you, that I realized how incredibly much I am using just these two brushes. Over the last year, I used the two EVO's alone for roughly 50% of my shaves! Aside for putting a hefty dent in my animal hair use, they have just about entirely displaced every other synth I own. (For me personally, it's a wakeup call that it may be time for the BST or some PIF's.)
Above all else, the EVO's have - for me - the right combination backbone and splay for face lathering, together with a mild, but delightfully smooth, sritchless scrub. They won't scrub like a packed Manchurian, but I don't require that. The EVO's also hold water quite well - more than well enough for three passes and touch-ups; they lather very easily; and the flow through is good. Add the convenience to the bargain, and they are a real winner.
