And the evidence is ???? Without evidence it is personal opinion and even with scientific evidence it is still personal preference. YMMVIt's a fact.

Very much a case of YMMV.No, nothing to do with technique or YMMV, it's the material. My technique is the same with any brush, although I barely use anything than STF synths anymore. The boars are harder work and require far more product, the Silvertip badgers take longer to get going. Even then, the lather is never as good with either.
I've had a lot of brushes over the years. I tried synths out of curiosity, thinking I was unlikely to shift from my regulars. But the ability of STF synths to outperform all of them for producing the best/most/easiest lather is not a YMMV or subjective thing. It's a fact. The preference for boar and badger comes down to subjective things - look, brand feel. When it comes to what the brush is designed to produce, it's not a contest.
Are you saying all the natural hair brush users just don't know what they are doing and only the synthetic users know how to lather'n shave properly?
Everybody is different Mr Black Hairy Puss.Synthetics are crap. They are springy, usually too soft to do anything other than paint, and just don't feel right. Just another fake plastic thing that shouldn't be taken seriously. A firm boar is my preference, they'll lather anything, and they feel fantastic.

I don't have any issue with my current synthetics brush as YMMV during the correct knot size and loft height and also the different type of synthetics fibre of your choice.
IF, the synthetics loft is below 56mm maximum height can become springy and very stritchy (very scratchy) and IF the loft height is over 56mm maximum height can become very floppy like a paintbrush.
My ongoing current synthetics brush is the WCS Two-Tone Tall (Blue & White) Extra Dense Synth. 26/56mm knot
