I've been thinking about getting a Chubby 2 in Synthetic (no reason in particular, other than I kinda want a Chubby 2 and I'm curious about synthetic), but all of the photos I've seen show a very narrow loft (is that what it's called when you're not measuring the height, but instead the width?). Are most of these photos taken before the brush has been given a chance to bloom, or does synthetic just not bloom as much as a badger brush?
Thanks in advance!

Welcome to TSN It's great to see you posting on your first day. If you have a chance, please post something about yourself in the Introductions section, so that we can give you a proper welcome.
The Chubby 2 is my preferred synthetic. My experience is that synthetics don't bloom. However, I found that after some use, the Chubby 2 synthetic will loosen up just slightly, resulting in a little bit more splay.
Athough the Chubby 2 synthetic does not splay much, it doesn't need to splay a lot to work effectively.

I also have both of these brushes Ron. They are very different, but both effective at creating lather.
