This brush is excellent for face lathering. It has a much softer/natural face feel compared to my yaqi tuxedo knot.
Note due to the dimentions (low loft), it's a bit more of a "painting" brush than a splaying brush. I can still get it to splay but only after it's loaded up with lots of soap. But it still creates alot of lather during face lathering with "painting" strokes.
The size of the brush is great. Maybe slightly smaller than the yaqi sangrada familia
