Thanks Gary, I find the Yaqi brushes excellent value and they have excellent synthetic brushes. They have a large amount of different knots also and when they have their 11.11 sale on Aliexpress I like to buy a few. I have one boar brush and that brush turned me to synthetics because of the funk smell, I being a greenhorn did not know any better when getting into wet shaving and thought to my self this is really bad, so synthetics for the last 4 years and love the progress of synthetics even my short time period in the wet shaving. The only natural brushes not tried are badger and horse hair and some day might venture there but I have mixed thoughts breaking in a badger with the funk smell.
