Not looking at synthetics but silvertip or dual band. Thanks.
Need something normal size and normal handle ( not hyped for long handles ).

I've got my sights on the Yaqi 26mm Moka Two Band for 11.11.

That is a great brush. The knot is very dense but it still feels soft on the face. Good amount of backbone. The handle is on the bigger side so it's more suited for bigger hands.
I'd say the Blue/White silvertip or the Black with white swirls silvertip. I have the black one and it's an amazing brush. Soft, a bit of backbone, and lathers up great. For 2-band, I really enjoy the Fan 24mm badger brush.

It's the asian version of black friday.
I've been using this Yaqi 24 mm 2-band for a couple of months now, and can highly recommend it. IMO it's a Goldilocks brush with a dense knot that is not too dense allowing good lathe flow-through rather than hogging lather. Even though when loaded with lather it has minimal scritch and would be suitable for the most sensitive faces.
I am a Yaqi fan, however most of their handles are tall, this 2-band brush is one of the few regular height handled brush.

I have this one and it's a great brush. I shed a lot for couple days, couple months back but it's going great now. The handle shape is a bit finicky for me but as long as I grab onto the rounded part, it works fine. It's my first badger brush and I'm still enjoying it currently.
Never heard of 11.11 a.k.a. "Singles Day"..... just read a little bit on it.. Very interesting!
I had forgotten, but my brush lost a few hairs in the first few lathers. Regarding how to hold the brush, I place the base towards the palm of my hand and use my fingertips to hold the bottom half of the base.
I find this brush equally good bowl or face lathering.
Well, since 11.11. is the start of the carnival season in Germany, I opt for a Shavemac or Muehle brush....
Wonderful brush
For me, it's not which Yaqi, it's how many. I'm a big fan of their synthetics. Haven't tried a badger from them yet.
Their badgers are wonderful but they're a more pricey. I'd suggest to try out one during this great sale.
Here’s two I bought, total after coupon $18.60
Yaqi HMW silvertip and Moka Express badger is back in stock! Get yourself some before they run out.
That's my speed too. Do those makers provide any sort of "carnival" discounts, Rudy?
Out of curiosity, anyone had theirs shipped yet? 
Yes, but my goods are in international shipping limbo at the moment somewhere within China or between China and the US.Out of curiosity, anyone had theirs shipped yet?
Mine just says awaiting dispatch, hopefully it won't be too long
