I wonder ...
Thank's for your advice. I'm surpriced how greedy (swallowing the lather) my badger is I saw a video on YouTube showing a synthetic brush challenging a badger and the effectivity of the synthetic was amazing. Now I'm waiting an Omega 90081 (nylon bristle) from UK and look forward for the experience. If successfull, I'll get a Mühle Silvertip to.Good post. Thanks for asking the question.
I'm interested in this topic myself. I recently reviewed a new-generation Mühle Black Fiber synthetic, and found it as good as any natural brush I own. I now have a Mühle Silvertip Fiber brush that I feel is better than any brush I've ever tried. My brush experience is limited to about 15 boars and badgers including a silvertip. Mind you, none fit into the top-end premium category. I am wondering why synthetics are not more widely used.
How long ago did you buy your body shop brush? The current one is very soft indeed, with no sensation you could think of as face ripping ;-)

It has very soft fibre tips.
Is that body shop brush available in The Netherlands?
