Thanks Marko.

The problem with many industrial products is that they try to imitate natural fibers.
For me, the beauty is exactly the opposite.
Mother Nature has limits, which modern technology can abundantly overcome.

I really like the Yaqi SK07 aka "Cashmere" fiber.
I have not tried the Dandelion, but it is very pleasant with those colors.
For my tastes, the synthetics with sweeter fibers are better used in custom handles.
This allows for a more accurate setting.
In order not to lose backbone, given the ease with which these fibers open, I prefer to have a shorter loft than the factory settings.
Then, according to your preferences, build a handle of adequate length.
I don't use the bowl, so for me on average 50mm of tuft and 65mm of handle are absolutely perfect.

gone to Carolina in my mind
I'm very impressed with the Omega EVO, which I got in mid-February.  It is the only brush I am using during the month of March, so I am 20 shaves in now.  FWIW, I reviewed it in - forgive me - another forum, here if you are interested.

Out of the 12 or 13 different Synthetics I've used it's the best! Excellent backbone, soft tips, super dense and lathers great. Most similar to a badger I've ever used in a Synthetic.
