Ha ha I have a Yaqi High Mountain on the way also, does that count?

Well, it counts only when you post a review for us, when you get the brush.
P. S. My last reply was lost on your comments.

Yaqi make a 28mm Watermelon cashmere which is discussed earlier in this thread.
It takes a few uses to open up whereas the APSCo is good straight out of the box but the Watermelon Cashmere is now my favourite brush!
Here it is next to the APSCo:

I wish Yaqi would offer the Cashmere with different (more interesting) handles.
There are some folks reading this thread and posting here that will want to join the synthetic pass-around. Tuxedo, Cashmere. We are about to add a couple of "Bad" knots to the list.

From what I've seen so far the Blue Lagoon handle only houses a 22 & 24mm knot. The 30mm would be too large.seeing the Cashmere knots is tempting me to wait for a 30 mm Cashmere in a shorter Blue Lagoon handle.
I have the Whipped Dog 24mm version and would say it is exactly the same as the Tuxedo. I've come to the conclusion it just has too much backbone for my liking. Will probably list in the BST some time soon... The Cashmere and the Angel Hair knots just have me spoiled to this point...For the ones here who have got the silk smoke how does it feel compared to the cashmere and tuxedo knots. I have a brush coming from Turnnshave with the ghost knot.

Thank you very much. I wish have to try one soon because I do like the tuxedo knot and the cashmere. I wish my turnnshave ghost brush would get here. The USPS website has said on its way to the next facility for the last 3 days.I have the Whipped Dog 24mm version and would say it is exactly the same as the Tuxedo.

I meant to comment on that ghost knot from TurnNShave earlier, it looks the same as the APShaveCo Cashmere. I just can't do any knot that is that big. I have the 25mm Angel Hair and feel its too big a knot for me as well. I sure wish they made them in say a 22mm. I think that would be perfect for me.Thank you very much.

Well I got the turnnshave with the ghost knot and I love the handle but the knot was pokey and prickly and felt like plastic. I was disappointed but I contacted Milton and I am sending it back to him and he is going to put a different knot in for me. He was great to work with.I meant to comment on that ghost knot from TurnNShave earlier, it looks the same as the APShaveCo Cashmere. I just can't do any knot that is that big.

Thats too bad... How did it compare to the Cashmere knot? You have one, right?Well I got the turnnshave with the ghost knot and I love the handle but the knot was pokey and prickly and felt like plastic.

I have 3 and the ghost knot is not even close to as soft. For me it was the worst synthetic I have tried and I have tried several. All I use are synthetics. Hope that helps.Thats too bad... How did it compare to the Cashmere knot? You have one, right?
Thanks. I will make a note for the future...I have 3 and the ghost knot is not even close to as soft. For me it was the worst synthetic I have tried and I have tried several. All I use are synthetics. Hope that helps.
