Now this is the handle from Yaqi I want, found on the wholesale minimum buy 500 pcs-page but not in their shop.

I came across this, in the similar kind of shape to the one you posted before.

Or, you could go a notch classier.

Got this 24 mm Yaqi today with a very prominent glue bump, probably going to add to backbone, a plus for me because that is how I like my brushes.

@Nisse Is the white marbling that noticeable to the naked eye? Mine certainly isn't.

Nisse · Friday September 29, 2017

oh, it is very noticeable, a mix of marble effect and spilled white paint

Resistance totally failed just recently.

Thanks @SeanC for such a great review. Tempted me in with this bad boy . Tried it out for the first time today with my MWF and it was fantastic. My first synthetic and won't be my last. Amazing brush from Yaqi.

And doesn't it coordinate well with my little FloÃ¯d collection?

I just got 25 knots in from Yaqi of the tuxedos ....they're the real deal

How did you manage to order 25 knots from Yaqi? I know some semi-pro artisans who tried to buy knots from them but they wouldn't consider an order under 100 units.

Greg · Tuesday October 10, 2017

I was in a group buy of 500

It looks like Virginia Sheng is getting on the act too: https://vigshaving.aliexpress.com/s...028.html?spm=2114.12010608.0.0.75a5de02qiaP1l

Prices are c50% lower (free postage) than YaQi, but the handles less interesting. The knots certainly look like a Tuxedo, but the truth will of course be in the testing

I dig the faux horn & the chrome metal ones. Admittedly, you are correct in that they are not as colorful as the Yaqi ones.

Beware of Virginia
