Yaqi -violet plissoft 26mm

[hcoop112]

So after people talking about yaqis for a while i decided to get the yaqi violet plissoft 26mm ....i could not get a decent photo as much as i tried...but anywho the performance.... no1. Considering this is a plissoft knot this was making thick lather that peaked on my hand so fast didnt matter if i used cream...soap...hard soap puck...b&m...it was so fast....i was shocked...this is a cheap brush but so far from what im seeing performs better than anything i own...last test will be on the face in the morning...if all goes well i think ill be buying 1-2 more yaqis in a grade thats slightly got a little more backbone just to see what we have here...but from what im seeing im impressed oh and its just wet and go..no soaking..

Thinking of going the lucky dice in 26 mm 2 band badger

I like the look of the Lucky Dice Brush. So tempting.

They are pretty cheap around 24.95 and you will get synthetic hairs or
something ...max 29....but if you want 2 band badger its around the 40-50 mark

 

[hcoop112]

There we go prices ... 26.95 for standard hairs and 39.95 for 2 band

I can tell you based on my experience that both the synthetic as well as the badger is very good for either face or bowl lathering...handle is ergonomic and plush bristles.

Yaqis are universally liked.

The violet looks just like the black marble (though 24mm) one I have; fine brush.

I have a Yaqi 2-band and, for the price, it's one heck of a brush.

I ended up getting a Yaqi 24mm Tuxedo myself. One of the “defective” handles. Beautiful brush but feels like an oversized women’s makeup brush lol

Hey that’s a good idea. I had wanted to name my pup after a mythological one eyed beast but the little woman wouldn’t allow it haha
