This morning I used my Razorock 400 with the Plissoft knot. I took some of the advice offered here, which was to not use the same technique as with a badger bush by backing off on the amount of water. Essentially a higher cream-to-water ratio.
The results were mixed. I only had one blob of lather flop off the brush into the sink, which is better than the norm. So the water/cream ratio is definitely involved.
I have to admit though that I don't like to have to put that much thought into it in the morning. It's one of the reasons I only use a single razor (1959 Gillette Fatboy). I don't want to have to think about changing my shaving technique with different components. So I'm still going to change out the synthetics for badger in those handles. But YMMV.
