It’s easy to register for an account and doesn’t cost a thing. You can use an Apple ID, Google a/c, etc. Very straightforward and I haven’t been flooded with spam emails. Soo cheap yet there’s quality to be had.That Yaqi brush looks very interesting. I will have to see if it's available off of eBay, as do not have an AliExpress account. I'm sure I saw it on YouTube the other day.

Yes, but the German made synthetic knots are old technology circa 2014 and have been surpassed IMO by the Chinese knots. Yes, I owned both the German ones and they were cutting edge in their time..........................just as was a Sopwith Camel in 1918.
Copies of expired patent vintage.Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements’ brushes look so funky and I love most of their designs - the Phantom Aerolite, Atomic Rocket and Starcraft most of all. I wish you could pick what knot you wanted what handle but even still, the brushes are super ‘50s atomic age/reds under the bed/Iron Giant cool.
Have fun choosing then choosing again and….
PurTech came along as a far-eastern alternative to Muhle STF. It's an old fibre now, but still has merit. Indeed! Lovely brush.So how’s the Purtech fibre? Lovely looking brush owd lad.
I love their handles but not there Synthetic Knots , I have 3 of their handles but with AP Shave knots in.Hi guys, I forgot about my thread here. I'm still trying to decide what brush to get. I've been looking at Shavemac brushes today. I've never owned a Shavemac and have always wanted one. Are they worth the money? and is there Synthetic fibres any good?
Thanks
Callum
I'm going to give the Shavemac brush a miss. Lovely handle, but after reading up on the synthetic knot, it doesn't sound good at all.
In all honesty, I'm looking for my last brush. Once I get this one, I will never buy another brush again, so I'm trying to make the correct choice. I have given myself up to £100 to spend. If someone could recommend one that could easily last me a lifetime, synthetic, 24mm and preferably a resin handle.
Thanks
Callum
