Does anyone find synthetic knots get worse over time? I’ve now had a couple go from super soft to quite soft but slightly scratchy like the very tips of the fibres break off leaving a subtly harsh contact surface. They still lather fine, just less pleasant to use.
I have just a simple Maggard synthetic brush and I don’t think it’s even the slightest bit scratchy. But I don’t have a newer synthetic brush to compare it to so it’s possible that if what you say is true then I just haven’t realized changing slightly over the years.
