Just had a reply
"Hi this handle is a customer's design, so we will not sell them in our aliexpress store. We also wont sell any more in store after we sell out the stocks"
I noticed that, nearly pulled the trigger but suspect it may be a bit big, particularly with the fan shape.

If it had been a 24mm then I would have been well and truly enabled.
In this italian forum page, they have compiled a table, based on user purchases and all Yaqi brushes are 1-2mm bigger knots than what they officially declare:

Even their 24mm, in reality are 25mm or 26mm. The "22mm" that i have ordered in the 1st order, is in reality a 23mm.
I agree having just compared my 24mm YaQi brushes against a Muhle 25mm

A plausible explanation indeed.The theory they 've come up with in that forum, is that Yaqi declared the dimensions of the knot BEFORE it's inserted in the handle and not at the edge of the handle, where we, are used to measure it. As a result, ALL Yaqi knots, are bigger than what they declare, while the lofts might be a bit shorter.
A plausible explanation indeed.
I passed on a YaQi brush with stated loft of 50mm off the back of this.

So basically, the package, was stol...eerrrr...lost, inside the Milan post office.
Just a heads up. In the italian forum, it comes out that some Yaqi brushes have been sent with "excessive glue bump". The glue arrives half way though the knot. Chen (from Yaqi), is replacing such brushes for people who complained and said that newer batches have smaller glue bumps and the models that are guaranteed to have the "correct" (smaller) glue bumps are the sagrada famiglia, the "Ferrari" handle (white and red) and the "space handle".
So, if you got a brush with the glue that arrives at half knot, this was a production mistake of earlier models.
That's unfortunate. Hopefully, Yaqi will sort it out.
The truth is I always found the glue bump sat too high in the Tuxedo knot (had two of them). However, it's hard to say whether they were in the middle of the knot.
EU/Italian protectionism - they want you to buy a Omega Badger Brush, not a Chinese one.
I think one of them is their synthetic horse knot.
I wouldn't give up just yet. It's been known for items to miss a scan in transit, but still be delivered.
