I'm coming around on the Synbad now that I'm giving it a fair shake. The handle is too short, but this could otherwise be my only brush.

I've been using the same batch of homemade soap for about 8-9 days now, and I haven't used a brush other than this Synbad all week. It's really growing on me, and I may order one with a longer handle and make it the daily driver. Good splay, nice feel, superb lathering capability. Still doesn't feel like natural hair, but at this point, if it works, it works.

I have actually ordered a longer handle for the Synbad knot. I think I may wind up keeping this, a mixed knot, one Omega, and an inexpensive badger, and selling the rest of the brushes. Great brush.

Great blades. The Tiz is incredibly smooth and sharp; smoother than a US Personna Med Prep and possibly as sharp. Looking at longevity as the week goes on, but they are impressive.
