I was recently asked to evaluate a new 100% synthetic shaving brush from Edwin Jagger. Whilst it is a brush that, I'm assured, Mr Jagger himself currently uses, I find it to be less effective in a number of ways. 1. Feels a lot coarser than a good badger brush. 2. Doesn't seem to hold the water as well. 3. Takes longer to work up a good, rich lather. All in all therefore, in my humble opinion, stick to Badger hair brushes for an all round better shaving experience! I agree with Craig on the synthetic brushes.
