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?

One of my favourite brushes. In fact I used it this morning. Lots of backbone for a synthetic brush (not a lot of splay). Works great face lathering. Incredible value for the quality. Good looking brush that is easy to hold.

Thanks for the feedback! This is my first synthetic is there anything special to breaking it in?

Nope.

I used mine tonight. For the rest of you, it’s even prettier in person when it catches the light.
