Ok, so I purchased this Yaqi shaving brush from AliExpress at a ridiculous price.
Nice brush, soft as anything and the glue bump stands about half an inch above the handle so should lather well (I think). A small point, and not really important, but I have no idea what it is called. On the website it is referred to as a Yaqi Huskey?!? After a bit of research it would appear that their ‘Husky’ knot is a slightly softer Tuxedo knot, and very dark grey rather than black. No further on the name of the handle. It obviously doesn’t really matter, but my OCD has kicked in!
Also, when viewed from above the knot is squared off not round like my other brushes - I ‘paint’ lather on, so this might actually be good, but, is it ‘normal’?
I still like it, it feels nice, substantial and soft and am looking forward to using it! But…
