YaQi 24mm 'Tuxedo' Synthetic

I had said this as well. Grace of Yaqi had told me when enquiring about the softest fibers that the tuxedo and the white cashmere that they sell on aliexpress were the same. and that the black fiber on the aliexpress store is the softest. Now softest fibers covers the whole length of the fiber and not just the tips. From my experience the new galaxy tuxedo they do feels better as its more dense and the tips are just as soft. The bonus is that the galaxy handle tuxedos have near to no glue bump.

OK. It's just that a member of a French forum got a brush with the recent light brown knot (not sold yet on Yaqi boutique apparently) and he asserted that the fibre was different than the others.

I think it is this knot:

What do you mean by the galaxy Tuxedo? (is it the blue space brush?)

Yea the blue space brush with the Tuxedo knot. The knots that are sold on the Yaqi Alibaba site are wholesale with a minimum order of about 500 brushes. The Yaqi brushes on the aliepress tend to have the same knots. So yes they do have different fibers in some knots but they are not easy to come buy at the moment
 
My 24mm Yaqi finally arrived yesterday after I'd given it up for lost (a26mm ordered the same day arrived about 3 weeks ago and this one was lost in the Post Office cave somewhere?)

A much lower glue knot than the 26mm and the difference in splay is huge. I tried it on a puck f DR Harris last night and it performed reasonably? The 26mm is fantastic on OSP soap so I'll try it On that next

The new Yaqi's look good, in particular the top two and the one in the middle which I presume are synths - the colour of the knots looks very aesthetically pleasing. The urge to purchase more Yaqi brushes seems strong, even though I absolutely no need for any more!

Agreed :D

Yaqi is calling it the 'Mu' knot, from what I've read its the same fibres as a tux just with a more natural colour scheme that emulates a 2-band badger knot aesthetically. I think they've nailed it, synthetic knots are usually so ugly compared to their natural hair counterparts but these looks great.
