Are these brushes the same?

[horizon]

Anyone know exactly what the difference is between these two brushes, if any?
From what is shown in the pictures, except that one says YAQI 26 mm and the other says nothing, although they look absolutely the same, I don't see any other difference...

Same brush, different sellers.

Same brush, different sellers.

Actually, I looked more closely now. There is a difference in the shape, color and consistency of the fibers. The cheaper one, without the inscription with the logo and the brand, is most likely a replica of the Yaqi.

It's AliExpress, anything is possible.

If you do buy from that site, make sure the item qualifies for "Free Returns". I believe that is their no questions asked, return protection.
