    Whipped up some Italian Palmolive shaving cream with my brand new Yaqi Aqua High Mountain Silvertip badger hair brush for last night's shave. Shed about 12 hairs in this first go, 8 of which were short, half hairs. Hope this is not the norm for this brush. Never had a brush shed this many hairs over several years, much less in the very first use. Seems quite prickly/scritchy for a High Mountain Silvertip too, even on first use. Hoping it will settle down with more use. It's a beautiful, heavy brush. A water and lather hog for sure. Great for head shaving as it covers a lot of dome real estate!

    It has a little prickly feeling at first and I found my 2 band Yaqi brushes not like that and really work well, I soak mine in warm water for about 2> minutes before shaving it helps a little. Mine did not really lose hairs with the 24mm HM silver tip and did not have really any badger smell. I got mine on sale price to take a chance on this silver tip as all my badger brushes.

    Yes, got mine in their recent sale for $36 instead of the regular $46. It didn't have any smell to it so that was nice. I just figure once it stops shedding and gets broken in good, it will no doubt be one of my favorite brushes.

    And this is why I will not buy a badger hair brush. Don't get me wrong it is a good looking brush but......
