YaQi 24mm 'Tuxedo' Synthetic

[Paul L]

The other I’m waiting for is the original one in this thread.

The 26mm one has quite a high glue bump but lathered up beautifully?

The glue bump in my 24mm Tuxedo Marble Handle brush is quite high but it performs well. Never had a problem with the high glue bump.

I would like to check a fact: I read somewhere that all the fibres used in Yaqi knots were all the same except the black ones, but I cannot find where. I believe someone was in contact with some Yaqi representative, who made the assertion. Could someone point me to the right direction?

I edited the post above with the B&B link with the thread the info came from.

Ah, OK, thank you! I see now.

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
