So I'm primarily a synthetic brush user. After going through many boar/badgers. I find the synthetics suit me better. I still use boar/badger occasionally but, again, synthetics are my go-to type
Now we know that synthetic brushes don't really "bloom" and they maintain their original form unless damaged.
But does anyone else feel that their synthetic brushes get easier to use and, maybe, a bit looser the more they are used??
I know that I've had a couple synthetics that were hard to use at first because they had so much "backbone" that I had a hard time getting lather but these have loosened up and now work very well.
Anyone else experience or feel that this is so?

I was thinking that very thing this morning with my huge Franks Shaving synthetic. I remember it being not as good a few years ago as it was today.

I have not used one enough to know. I have two now and I will see how they do. I like them better then badger....stilll love a solid boar most though. That might change in time.

I think there is a two things. First, you need to "learn" using synthetic, just like any other brush. And second, after some time, synthetic brush become softer. Not as much as brush with animal hair, but softer. I belive that someone who doesnt use synthetic will tell you there is no difference between new and old brush, but some expiriance user will feel the difference.
