    Surprisingly, they feel much rougher on my face than boar or badger do. Perhaps I just haven’t tried a nice enough synth yet?

    Synths can be super soft. A motherlode fir instance is softer than any boar, badger, or horse I’ve ever tried

      Thanks for the call out, I’ll keep my eyes open for one of these if they ever pop up (or if I ever have a handle that needs filling).

      The Yaqi and Simpson synths that I own both feel soft to the touch, but they cause me more burn than my badger or boar brushes. I wonder if my technique could be part of the issue. I’m trying to stick to just paintbrush-like strokes with those brushes, but still feel some burn regardless.
