Brush of the day BOTD

Forum GOD!
I often wonder how that PAA is good, bad or just OK. Company is just down the road from home an hour or so, but they dod not have retail outlet, so that kills my ability to touch before I purchase.
I have a strange relationship with shaving brushes.
If I like them, I generally appreciate them right away and obviously tend to use them more frequently and with greater satisfaction.
This "The Doppler" is one of the ones I own that I like the least.
But these are my impressions, mostly based on my personal tastes.
It has a tuft with little backbone, probably also because the loft is too high.
If you don't hold it with your whole hand, it tends to spread the cream everywhere, and that's a flaw I really don't like.
I wouldn't buy it again, but now that I have it, I use it mostly with tube creams or soft soaps.
A product that doesn't live up to the brand's reputation, in my opinion.
I love their soaps and have owned many over the years.
But if marketing brushes just to have a full range of shaving products is their goal, I think they should look for another third-party manufacturer who produces better products.

I believe PAA in their last four or five offering is just using same knot material, in different shaped hsndles.

I don’t like brushes that throw soap and make a mess.

I am hoping the Trade War end so I can puck up some Zenith Boars. HOPE.🙏
