I lather is circular motions. I think the key is to use more water (because more soap picked up?)
I have been face lathering with this brush and dip the tips in water prior to each and every contact with the face... I have copious lather, creamy, slick, cushioning....
Excellent

True Jon, you need to readjust your technique because unlike natural hair synthetics don't hold any water inside the bristles. That's easy enough to compensate though, the rest is easier still.

I used the Body Shop Maca Root cream (tub) y'day.
Lathered well, used too much product actually. Second/third passes were ok, with the lathering appearing thinner (brush only loaded from the tub once, in the beginning). Face lather, of course.
The surprising thing at the end was that the knot took considerably more time to clean than with my other brushes. It's center was full with cream which kept generating thin lather as I was cleaning with water.
Not the most predictable of brushes by any standard, but certainly capable and interesting. My offer was $39.xx or $44.xx if I remember correctly, and was naturally accepted.

Paul, I didn't deal with FS distributors, but having ordered a thing or two from China - it normally comes within a week.

Heh, I feel stupid for offering $47 now, but I will be happy with the brush I think anyway.
Why do people ever use a best offer option, surely no one will ever pay the full BIN price?
