My Yaqi's have arrived.

"....taking it for a run tomorrow morning".

Hi @StratMan good going there mate.
You've done well...and bought 2 of them! (even though only 1 is for you).
Good looking brush aren't they?
Don't forget to wash or shampoo it first though.
Looking forward to your review tomorrow.

Two Yaqi Hippie brushes, have you been smoking again @StratMan cause I’m wondering why two.

Edit:- Never mind I’ve read why you got two hippie brushes.

I have never washed a synth before.. sounds like it is a necessary step :oops:

so just a fake palm lather with shaving soap will do?

Maybe a few lathers with a shitty soap you might have laying around. Get any colouring out before you take to face.
 
Before i forget @StratMan, i was on Maggards website and seen that they recently got stock of The Club Signature soaps to go with your aftershave you already have!
 
Must have been a day for Yaqi's
Dry they feel a whole lot better than the dense spongy knot PIF'ed to @astinus4. I'll bring these along to the December meet up.
The White Knight Boss knot is a bit softer than Sagrada Familia with marginally less backbone

the sagrada looks like it has a tuxedo knot? whats the knot size on that @Holiday?
 
I'm the same about the 26mm Yaqi. Like it a lot more than a 24mm.
Yes, that Pony knot is nice.
Glad you pulled the trigger on one. Was sure you would like it.

24/53mm knot, feels like a Simpson Chubby 1 style is a fantastic brush and I love it

The tuxedo knots on the sagrada is not extra dense, the knot feels just dense when you face lather
 
I took @Blackie advice and shampooed, then palm lathered to rinse out any dye.
First impression the Boss Knot develops more of a backbone when wet. Looking forward to mastering the B&M Reserve with these beauties.

Hair Material : Synthetic Hair Boss Knot
Handle Material: Resin
Brush Knot Diameter: 24mm (+/-1mm)
Loft size: 50mm (+/-1mm)
Handle height: 49mm (+/-1mm)
Widest part of the Handle Diameter: 39mm (+/-1mm)
 
Wow. Beautiful. Must give the synthetics a try. But spoilt with badger so haven’t quite taken a bite.

Bought two more Yaqi's. They arrived 2 days ago from Yaqi Australia. Well packaged too.
The Evil Zebra (Snow Leopard knot), and the Rainbow (Pony knot).
Both are 26mm and I have posed them beside a Timeless to give you an idea of size.
The other Yaqi's (on the outer sides) are both 24mm. A Tuxedo (Black Marbled handle, right of photo), and a Happy Hippy (Alpine knot).
Used the Rainbow twice now. It's a lather monster...holds a lot of lather. I like the longer handle as it lets me get down into some of the soap tubs that are a tad tall (and the shorter handles bang against the sides when I'm lathering up with soap).

@Blackie reviving an old post here, but how do you rate the far-right black, marbled brush? Considering buying one on their Aliexpress store and stumbled across your picture
 
Those are a good brush. I'm on my 2nd one now (that's the one in the photo).
My original one is still going strong after 4 years use (but I have the Evil Zebra, and the Rainbow Pony Knot to play with as well. Both are 26mm).
I haven't counted lately...I think I have 5 Yaqi brushes now.
24mm, nice face feel, lather up like a champ.
I bought 2 more (1 for son, and 1 for son-in-law). No complaints from them either.
I think you will like it.
