Will you be doing a review on those? Pretty interested in the Yaqi stuff...View attachment 40037
Two heads from Yaqi, the 'Hybrid Beast' on the left, which is the DOC top plate with the DE89 style lower plate and on the right is the 'Yaqi Cobbed' head which is supposed to the same head as the Maggards V3A.
So when I first got into DE shaving, I purchased myself a Simpsons brush. I thought I'd treat myself and buy another brush. After much research, I decided to buy the RazoRock Big Bruce. Received it today and found it almost comically enormous. I've decided to buy the slightly smaller ‘Bruce' and see how I go with that!
I checked the dimensions of my Simpsons brush and it's an 18mm knot. The Big Bruce is 26mm so I'm guessing after being so used to the Simpsons brush, I'm finding the BB comically large..

The Big Bruce is my brush of choice. Once you get used to it a 22mm feals like using a small kids paint brush.I've only ever used 23-24mm brushes apart from the time I ordered the 26 Big Bruce. I felt exactly the same, it seemed almost ridiculously big to me, and felt like wiping a mop across my face. It covered the face extremely quickly but seemed to take longer to rinse out. I too got the 24 Bruce & sold the big one. 24mm seems perfect to me, I don't get the appeal of bigger knots at all
Really like the hourglass handle shape with no horizontal ridges across it. The fibres do ‘donut' a bit whilst lathering. This seems to bother some people but it's only cosmetic, I don't see that it prevents me getting good lather at all. Nice brush at a fair price. The difference in tip softness is probably marginal but I wish they'd do the BC Silvertip knots in the Bruce handle, not just the barber handle
That is a nice haul Speedy!Today mail called, this will be the last order for this month of the year 2018
Picked this up today from a local Cardiff potter. How have I managed so long without warm lather? lol.
