I've been looking at synthetic brushes lately and I reckon I might go for a Yaqi, anyone tried them?
I have a couple of the BIG one. They are soap hogs, but produce enough lather to do a 4 pass shave with lather to spare.
Can’t beat ‘em given the price IMHO.

I think synthetics have come a long way. The most popular is the Sagrada Familia 24mm
The large brush was presented to me as the Canadian Yaqi distributor
Sorry about the sideways photo
I have been pleasantly surprised at how good the new Synthetics are, I have only tested 4 of them personally all have been good all were 24mm
The SilkSmoke is my personal favorite, but all of them have been very good, and easy care
They are especially well suited for travel as they can be packed away with little regard to mold and mildewQuote:

Yes, you might be referring to the larger barber pole brush. "Hair material : Synthetic Hair Knot Handle material: Resin Brush knot diameter: 30MM(+/-1mm)Quote:

For the price you cant go wrong. I think everyone should have a few. I think I have 8. :shrug:
Forgive me if I'm wrong... But isn't it Pete that loves these synthetic knots and put them in a bunch of his brushes???
Yes, it is hard to beat a modern synthetic brush once you get to know how to lather with them. They will lather anything, are inexpensive and dry the fastest.
