Anyone Own this Yaqi Dice Brush?

[DesertIguana]

Kind of think of ordering, but I wonder if it not as good looking, inperson?

I think @Ron R has a brush like that.

 

[Ron R]

Yup, I have that brush. It is a nice 26mm Tuxedo knot. The handle is nice and large also and a joy to use IMO.

Have some great shaves!

 

[DesertIguana]

Thanks Ron.

I also own one and whilst a good brush I find the Tuxedo knot to be a little stiff for me so it does not get a whole heap of use. I also prefer a smaller knot (this one is 26mm)

though I enjoy the 26mm Yaqi Evil Zebra more.

Have to agree the Yaqi Evil Zebra 26mm with the Snow leopard knot is a gentler luxury knot than the 26mm tuxedo knot(Tuxedo knot are great general use brush). I guess it is what your want in a knot, 26mm are great and not a lather hogs either IMO.

I've had my Yaqi Lucky Dice for over a year. 26mm Tuxedo knot, very soft with great backbone. Can't go wrong with this brush.

The other two Yaqi's I am thinking on are:

A bit like Goldilocks and the 3 bears…

The Lucky Dice was a bit too springy and hard to splay and the Moka Express was too soft for me.

I found my happy medium in the 24mm Bali Beehive - slightly scrubby and easy enough to splay.

Well thank for input, will wait for Yaqi Sale, missed last one.

I have a sneaking suspicion that the house brand brush I recently purchased was actually made OEM by Yaqi, and the synthetic fibers look just like the ones in your pictures above. It's a great brush, love it.
