YaQi 24mm 'Tuxedo' Synthetic

Well, I have to say that after complaining about the really really short loft on my Sagrada Familia model, they prompted to send me a new one, with the mysterious space handle. It's on the way now.

I was indeed treated very nicely through all the conversation. So, if you receive one of those unusable, just send them a message, I'm sure they'll work something out.

One more thing, anyone tried to steam out of the handle one of these Yaqi tuxedos? Anyone knows if the knot tear apart with heat?
 
I've purposely avoided shorter loft YaQi brushes due to the possibility of the glue bump making them unusable

2 of the brushes had the exact same loft height, knot width - same size handle, but the first one I bought had no problems with the glue bump, the other had a large glue bump.

To their credit, Yaqi did resolve the issue with a replacement brush which has no issue with glue bump, a MYSTERIOUS SPACE (or sparkly blue) Fan Tuxedo which is very nice indeed.
 
After reading this thread I ordered a 24mm brush which hasn't arrived yet

However a 26mm version ordered a few minutes later when I was browsing :rolleyes: :p Popped through the door today. What a brush!!! Superb shave with OSP Sandlewood tonight
 
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?

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.
