Synthetic brushes? Favorites? And the "humane" badger hair discussion?

Only one badger left in my den, I like using my synthetics more (Plisson, Grooming Co., Muhle and the latest arrival the Simpson).

I just spent 3 weeks traveling with a 20mm TGN 3 band synthetic knot. Great daily shave.

Does anyone know who sources the knot for TGN? What generation syn?

These are in my collection. I haven't used the L'Occitane or the Shea Moisture yet but among the others I prefer the Hi-Brush. Plus they sell for right around $20; IMO the best deal out there. Mühle is next on my want list.

2) Omega Hi-Brush
3) Omega Syntex
4) Body Shop
5) Kelley Quan

6) L'Occitane
7) Shea Moisture
