I am a synthetic brush guy. I love them because they are easy to use, dry fast, and perform very well when it comes to wet shaving. I tried a good quality boar brush for hell of it because a lot of wet shavers do like boar brushes. For me, boar brushes suck mainly for 2 very important reasons. They are lather hogs and don't release the lather as easily as synthetic brushes (at least for me). The other reason why I don't like them is because of the hairs that are coming off the brush when loading/lathering and I especially hate it when you apply the lather on your face and you see a ton of boar hairs in the lather on your face. it really drives me nuts having to pick multiple boar hairs off my face. I was wondering if anyone else has had bad experiences with boar brushes and are now 100% strictly synthetic brush users?
