Some individual products do indeed leave more residue than others. Proraso has been a major culprit it the pastView attachment 34124
Got a problem with residue at the very base of the knot where it meets handle, been using shaving creams lately not sure if that is important, anyway how do you keep your brushes clean?
Read over at Pens of the Forest about the dangers of residue in badger knots: Oh horror!
Exactly my thoughts I've echoed before. The plissoft knot has great face feel with right amount of backbone..having said this I also own most Yaqi in tuxedo knots. I have ordered one in barber pole handle which looks like a plissoft look alike, till such time RR rocks !How are you all finding your Yaqi synthetics? Whilst I think they look great (I have the black marble Tuxedo), and are good value for money, I prefer the Razorock Plissofts myself for the softer feel on the face.
I mainly use my tuxedo if I'm using a soap which may need a bit of encouragement to lather up. I find it very soft on the face but lacking a bit of backbone. I like the knot size as I also shave my head so coverage is quick and easy. As its the only synth I currently own (I have a Maggards on the way) I can't really compare it to any others. I like it but still prefer my badger and boar brushes.How are you all finding your Yaqi synthetics?

Yaqi 26mm, I find it quite soft and almost a tad floppy compared to my boar & badger.What make of Tuxedo do you have (from what vendor)? I find them to have lots of backbone. I am curious.
