This may surprise some people, but this cheap Maggard Synth is my most used brush. It’s very similar to the L’Occitane Plisson, but the Plisson is softer feeling and there are zero prickly bits. It’s also smaller.
Today it dawned on me that much like a boar knot, this Maggard Synth might have upside-down hairs which feel prickly. I managed to find 8 hairs that were easily removed (out of how many thousands of hairs? Not bad) and now there’s not a prick in sight (aside from the handler).
