I have 3 synthetic brushes for sale, all are very lightly used (less than 5 lathers each). I will sell the lot of all 3 synthetic brushes for a total of $50 shipped CONUS, but they are also being offered individually so act fast if you want all 3.
First up is a Chiseled Face 28mm "Faumere" knot set in a Whipped Dog 30mm Handle. The knot has about a 54mm-55mm loft, and the Fauxmere fibers are identical to Plisson fibers. If you like the Plisson, but want something with more backbone and density this may be the brush for you. $22 shipped CONUS.

Next up is a Chiseled Face 24mm "Fauxmere" knot set in a Whipped Dog 24mm handle. This does not have quite as much backbone as the 28mm knot, but it does offer slightly more than the standard Plisson knots which are 22mm. The loft on this knot is between 55mm-56mm. If you like the feel of the standard Plisson brushes, you will absolutely love this brush as it offers probably 10-15% more backbone. It still splays very easily like the standard Plisson, but doesn't feel like it is going to splay all the way down to the handle with the lightest touch. $16 shipped CONUS.

This is a 24mm "Ubersoft 2 4th Generation" knot from Nathan Clark set in a Whipped Dog 24mm handle. It has a loft around 54mm. This is an interesting knot, it has slightly more scrub than the Plisson or Ubersoft 1 knots, and it has a great amount of backbone. What makes it unique is the fan shape, which allows it to splay easily while still retaining better backbone, but without a springy quality to it that most synthetics suffer from when trying to increase the backbone of it. Definitely worth a try if you like synthetic brushes. $20 shipped CONUS.

Next up are 2 boar brushes from Whipped Dog. Up until about a month ago I was an adamant boar brush guy, and I ordered these 2 brushes to try out because there is very little information about the Whipped Dog boar knots. Both use a 24mm boar knot, one is set at a loft of 52mm and the other is set at 54mm. I have to say that even though neither brush is fully broken in yet, I'm very impressed with the quality and characteristics of both these brushes. Shortly after receiving them, I started experimenting with different synthetic knots and I realized that my skin handles the synthetic fibers more, so I've sold my Semogue brushes and now decided to sell these as well. $18 each or $30 for both, shipped CONUS.
