I tell a lie, it's a RR Silver Tip not a Cashmere.What's the current in vogue synthetic brush? Silver Tip? Tuxedo? Cashmere?
I have been using Plissofts, with a black fibre for travel. I have an unused Cashmere.
SynBad looks like the Yaqi Mew Brown knot, which I think someone here said is the same fibre as the Plissoft/Cashmere/Tuxedo.
The SynBad is definitely not the same fibre as the Plissoft/Cashmere/Tuxedo, however as most YaQi innovation as of late seems to have been purely cosmetic, it's quite possible the Yaqi Mew Brown is. A review will confirm one way or the other
Yes, you're right, I made a mistake, I had a look at the review with the info about the Yaqi Mew Brown brush, and Cristobal said it was like the Black Fibre not the Tuxedo fibre as I said above. Here is Cristobal's quote
"Performance
In conclusion, the behavior of the Mew Brown knot is very similar to the Black Fibre.

IMO the SynBad does look like the Mew Brown knot though.

That's a very nice brush indeed. Yaqi's new batch of handles which includes yours and the Moka one IMO look fantastic.
What is the glue bump like? I have 2 Yaqi Tuxedo brushes with the Red Barbershop having a high 13mm glue bump and the Mysterious Space Fan has a 4mm high knot. Even though the brushes have the same fibre they are very different in use.
