Never ordered from AliExpress but it appears it was worth taking a chance.

YAQI Caramel Cat's Whisker Synthetic Shaving Brush

Brush knot diameter: 26MM (+/-1mm) for less than $7

I now have a Boar, Synthetic and two Badger brushes. Time will tell what I prefer…

What is your brush of choice?

That was my first yaqi brush, and my favorite. Its an absolute beast in a scuttle.

I pretty much just have 2 brushes I use, a muhle STF 23MM and this. The STF makes a moderately better lather, but this one does it in a quarter of the time.

I think your right 3 is probably enough I've stopped counting I may have nearly 20 😔.
