Yaqi Arctic Sky Deep Blue Handle Shaving Brushes

Huge quantities of thick cream in about 25 whisks using tallow based soaps. No smell, no bristles falling out. No furry creatures running around bald. worth the money.

Great feel. Soft with backbone and looks great too

This review is for the arctic/polar synthetic knot found on the synthetic version of this brush. It is a fantastic knot, my second favorite overall after my super-dense silvertip, and I own a number of brushes in badger, boar, and one other older synthetic (which I hate). The knot is very, very soft, it is like down on your face. It is dense and while you would not describe it as having a lot of backbone, it has enough to perform a nice face lather. It holds heat very well from warm water and is dense and large enough to hold lather for 3 or 4 passes with no problem. Mine is perfect - it was set perfectly in the handle, has not lost a single bristle, looks great after it dries and performs well in terms of lather production and release. I personally like the way it looks also, it does not look cheap in any way. If you already own some nice badger brushes and are trying to decide between the badger or synthetic version of this brush I urge you to try the synthetic - while I am sure the badger is a nice knot as well, this particular synthetic knot, which is one of a kind in terms of appearance and performance, is a must-try in my book.

Soft brush with great color and reasonable price. I bought it as a gift and they loved it, especially the color!

Perfect brush for my dopp bag for traveling. The sky deep blue is so intense. The handle is just the right size and shape for my hand. Thanks for such a great brush and such good service.. I particularly appreciate how you guys keep me posted on my shipping of my purchases.
