Annnd its here! They sent me
A free feather blade box as well bonus! This thing is awesome! Better than the synths for sure...so much badger hair...i lt has pretty decent backbone as well more than the synths...its soft...yet picks up so much soap...i didnt scrub the puck for very long as i could see just how much it was picking up just took enough for a 3 pass plus touch up...this thing is a beast best brush i have hands down...its like a huge cushion of badger

They have a 22mm Two-Band Sagrada Familia brush now. It's a bit smaller for face lathering. Just imagine, you could apply lather without painting one entire side of your face all at once!

Congrats, enjoy the Wall of Badger

The OP brush is great, especially for the price. Soft tips, dense and above than decent backbone.
When Yaqi came out with the Mokka handle I bought both the synth and the badger.
While the first is still in use and loved, the latter was too big for my tastes. Just my personal experience, with a 26mm badger once they are bloomed I feel clumsy and I can't help myself from painting lather all over my ears and nose .
22mm would be perfect for me but I'm the only person on earth who dislike the Sagrada handle.

i like most of yaqis handles but a couple i dont for example..the bunny i just dont like it ...the liberty i just dont like it for some reason...psycho idk just looks a bit strange to me ...the last one well i may of liked it if they had another metal ring at the top of the handle to match the bottom..but like everything ymmv and thats just my opinion so take that for what its worth

Enjoy it! But don't drop it... I did.



I had the 24mm synthetic version, loved the handle shape. Been meaning to replace with the one you have, as Yaqi two band is very nice.

Is it possible to take the knot out and put it in another handle? Or it works fine as it is ?

Congrats!

I made an ugly repair, then tossed it with the intent to replace. Would get that two-band 26mm, though. Enjoy!

Its a amazing brush ..the slant isnt half bad either especially for the price in fact all of yaqis stuff i have atm has been great quality despite it being cheap

The yaqi synths i own (5) are great better than my old silvertip that was better than alot of brushes i felt around town didnt matter if it was $70 or $150 and better than my omega boar brushes ...a big statement but its true...the badger is even better than that.. i think this badger maybe my happy place for me its big it holds a ton of lather it lathers like a champ it was cheap as chips i mean there isnt alot of cons to it imo i may get a 2nd badger and give a couple synths to my mother or pif them

I did like it. I've got several Yaqis, the Marpat (both excellent), black marble 24mm, mysterious space 26mm... The moka Synth was the only brown fiber one. Some may think it lacks loft... It worked fine and felt great in hand.

The breakage was a freak accident. I bang brushes dry typically, and it flew out of my hand, ricocheted off the tile floor. The average fall, it would have survived, I think.

I'm thinking about getting this very brush as it's the only badger Yaqi offers that's smaller than 24mm that I'm aware of. How does it perform? I haven't pulled the trigger because I fear it will be denser than I prefer

I don't have the 22mm yet due to sabbatical this year, but I'm interested. My one Yaqi Two-Band is a 24mm Mysterious Space, quite dense and I like it a lot, but have to say it is a rather large knot once bloomed.

Im getting a yaqi 24mm Betelgeuse 2 band best badger delivered either today or tmo...this will be my badger for the day when the 26mm is drying apparently you should have two
