- A couple of terrific Yaqi shaving brushes! Reasonably priced, these synthetic shaving brushes perform very well and clean up in a snap!
Each brush has luxurious, soft synthetic fibers with nice backbone and good flow-through.

I just ordered the 24mm Timber Wolf. I like the blue handle on them. I prefer the synthetics, not only for their value and quality, but no animals are "harvested" for them.
It is a neat handle.:) Overall, very good brushes for the money.:) Enjoy!:)
Ordered a Yaqi 24mm red Marble Tuxedo shaving Brush. Delivery due tomorrow.
Thanks, Mark! Very nice-looking brushes. All the best!
Thanks, Mike! And thanks for all your support of my channel this past year! Happy New year!:)
Very COOL Brushes!!! RECOMMEND!
Thank you!:)
You don’t need to hang out a synthetic brush to dry like a badger, horse hair or boar brush. If you rinse it well, shake off the excess water, and rub it vigorously against a dry towel, the brush will dry very quickly. I also have a 26 mm Yaqi synthetic brush and love it. I store it on a small towel inside my bathroom drawer and it works well.
Oops. Commented before watching the entire video. My bad.
@@robertross8565 not a problem at all.:) I agree and the comment is very helpful.
I got a Yaqi brush over a year ago and I store it up right. I use the brush 5 days a week, most weeks, and I have not have had any problems with it drying sitting on my bathroom counter.
Thanks for this information and confirming having the brush right side up. Thank you! Happy New year!:)
I got one with defects on 7. Dollars but I don't see any defect
I'm the minority of storing my brushes upright, but dry them thoroughly first :)
Hey Mark im a new subscriber and i have to say i enjoy your videos, keep it up!
Thank you very much for the kind words and vote of confidence!:) Greatly appreciated!:) And thanks for subscribing!:) Happy New Year! :)
@@MarkSzorady Kindly welcome, look forward to your new videos for 2019! Happy New Year! :)
Love Yaqi synthetics 👍
It's understandable why some prefer them.:)
Hello Mark I am thinking of buying a Yaqi brush. Which knot would you recommend. I was thinking of 24 to 26 but the Yaqi do a nice 30 knot too.
Hi, Andrew.:) I like 24 and 26 MM Knots. While the 30MM knot is nice, it's massive! It comes in handy, though, when I want to lather my head for a head shave. It gives me a lot of coverage. for me, the Yaqi 26mm knot seems about right. I have several brushes (other brands) in 24mm knots an these work well, too.:)
@@MarkSzorady Thank you for your quick reply Mark. I have just ordered a Yaqi synthetic 26 in red marble from Razorus here in Turkey. Just got a mixture of blades from them this morning. I have only been DE shaving for a few weeks. Love your videos. Very informative.
@@andrewwilson9617 Great to hear that you're doing he traditional wet shave. A couple of things I've learned form personal experience: As I always say in my videos, "30 degrees, a light touch, let the razor do all the work, gentlemen." I gave myself a few weeks to allow my skin and face to adapt to the process. And I found using an alum block in my post shave routine to be invaluable. I apply it and leave it on. If you find it dries out your skin a bit from leaving it on, simply apply, wait for 20-30 seconds, then rinse off. HTH.:) Thanks gain for the kind words.:)
Hi Mark, How does the red and white handle tuxedo compare to the Viking's white knight in feel, backbone etc.. What do you prefer or find yourself using more?
I like the White Knight a lot. It has more backbone than the Ferrari and the hairs, while soft, have a little bit of tooth to them. So, I like how it gives just a bit more exfoliation of the skin. It also lifts the whiskers a bit more.:) This exfoliation happens mostly while doing a face lather. Lathering with cream (painting on the lather), it's as soft as any badger or boar I've used.:)
The Ferrari is a good brush and very soft. But, like most synthetics, when doing a face lather, there is a bit of a battle in getting the hairs to splay out. I'ts not a major obstacle or hindrance, but the White Knight and other Vikings Blade synthetic brushes, due to the shape of their knots, do a better job of splaying out while face lathering. This is why I always start a face lather on the point of my chin. It helps to open the brush hairs up and out.
HTH.:)
@@MarkSzorady Thanks Mark!
@@xreptor My Pleasure.:)
Hi Mark, between Yaqi and Razorock synthetic brushes, wich one of them you find to be more quality?
Yaqi
Yaqi
Mark, which would you say is a better knot? Tuxedo like vs Timberwolf like??
I like the Tuxedo knot in the Ferrari.:) However, I have a few brushes with the Tuxedo knot, so lately, I'm partial to it.:) the tuxedo knot has a bit more backbone and snappiness to it.:) It face lathers very well and has nice flow-through to paint on lather.:)
I used the Timberwolf just this morning for my shave and it did a nice job.:) No complaints at all.:) But, yeah, the tuxedo knot has the edge, IMHO.:)
Looking at the three Yaqi brushes I now own, two of them have Tuxedo knots.:) so, I guess that says something.:)
@@MarkSzorady thanks Mark, ive got their 22mm 'cola' on the way too
@@deeel1364 THAT'S a good looking brush!:) the combination of handle and knot are VERY nice!:) And, a nice price!:) Enjoy!:)
In your opinion, which one is better? yaqi or simpson T3?
The T3 is quite good but the shape and size is so different form the Yaqi. I certainly would take the Yaqi over the T2 due to the size. the T2 is fine for travel, and some might favor it for a daily driver, but for me, it's the T3. I'd say the T3 stands up quite well next to the Yaqi brushes. It's simply a different handle and knot, so difficult to say which one is better.
@@MarkSzorady I totally understand, I'm going to buy the T3, I think it's an incredibly beautiful brush. i just have one more question, doesn't the brush lettering fade over time?
@@jhonnycastro383 Yes, I've noticed some wear on mine.
I Mark did you use or review Boti's shaving brushes?
Danilo, I have not. Do you have a link?

@@danilobernaschina1842 Thank you.:)
@@MarkSzorady my other shaving friends are telling me to prefer yaqi silvertip for price and quality
That would be pronounced more like "Yachee" (think Qi = "Chi", like the mystical energy thing).
I just got a Yaqi brush for $10 with shipping, and it took only 10 days.
Nice!
sounds like a advertisment, not a review... :/
👍🏼
Thanks, Patrick.:)
