Know anything about the Yaqi boar brush?
Anybody try the Yaqi boar?

I'm curious too, there's a 507 in olive wood that looks amazing. I think it's a 26mm but I could be wrong.
Holy crap!
That was my initial experience as well. Same brush.
I haven't tried it yet, but it did settle down the last time I test lathered it and it only lost 1 bristle. It's a stiff brush.
I had the same one as the above pictured and it shed really bad as well. Love the handle thought.

Does it shed indefinitely or do they all settle down soon enough?
I don't know.
It's a nice handle but for the price, and the effort I've put into it so far, I decided to get off the pursuit of it. Maybe I'll pick it up at a later date and mess around with it. For now, I'm thoroughly aggravated with it.
Too many brushes that are all around a pleasure to use right out of the gate to fool with this for me.

Thanks for sharing this information gentlemen. It seems to be happening to a number of you, so it may not just be an isolated bad knot.

Anything new to report on the brush's shedding?
The fact Yaqi don't seem to be selling anymore boar brushes seem to indicate their supplier didn't have the right quality.
Happy shaves,

Thank you
Hi Klinker,
It's most unfortunate as their syns n badgers are absolutely top notch.
Cheers and happy shaves,

I did want to try out the Yaqi boar but that picture does concern me a bit. Hopefully they come out with a better QC boar brushes in the future.
I've been using that same brush for almost a month now. I didn't have an initial loss like that but a few hairs every shave. The hair loss has been slowing down and today may have been the first shave without loosing any. hopefully it's settled in. I do have Yaqi badger and synth and both have been stellar.

(My Semogue Excelsior 830 is the only boar, however, that has shed less than any natural hair brush I have.)
It's a rare brush now and your pictures are always great!

Thanks so much
I don't know. I probably won't buy a made in china animal hair brush.
Why not just get an omega or semogue? They are inexpensive and are made in europe.
