I'm looking for a shaving brush that easily splays out flat, and isn't "springy", so it stays fanned out relatively flat during use...
(I bowl lather, and after a quick circular scrub on the face, I like to apply my lather with painting strokes. My Escali Badger brush does this very well - and holds the flat shape without bouncing back. In a sense, I am applying my lather more with the inside surface of the splayed hairs, than with the actual tips.)
Now, I could just stick with the Escali and keep doing what I'm doing, but I'm interested to see if there is something else I can try that has these characteristics. Since it's an Escali that I'm trying to beat, I'd like to keep the cost on the lower end.
Even if you had a brush that sounds like this and absolutely hated it, that would be useful information!
Thank you for your suggestions.
