In my experience aliexpress has trouble understanding the glue bump problem since it can't be 'photographed '. Burned me twice.

A shame to hear.
For my order if it was just the one brush I could understand one bad example could slip through but two at the same time is less encouraging.

Probably all of them are like this. The price was pretty low right?

The same brush came to me in 2018 for 10€ and the glue bump was very acceptable.

David you will most likely enjoy Sicily in summertime. It is on my buy list too. Madagascar and Himalaya are cousin scents but I think I definitely prefer deeper scent of Himalaya.

Raj, I've had all three before, but Himalaya appears to have disappeared.

Exactly! I've had problem with Frank Shaving G4 glue bump and was going to raise a dispute and then I realized, I have to send a photo of the defect and was like "How the hell one makes a photo of a glue bump?!"

One way might be to grab the glue bump itself and push the bristles above it a little bit and that should show how much space is taken up in your fingers.

@Optometrist David told to push the hairs with the thumb while holding the brush with the same hand. Glue bump will reveal itself.

Probably we are saying the same thing Chris!

Lovely artwork! The set is always sold-out though. Please share your thoughts on its scent and performance.

For überlathering, but I will try it on it's own first.

For what it's worth, I have a Sagrasada that arrived a couple of weeks ago. I bought it so my father could give it to me for Xmas and it hasn't been used. I checked it and the glue bump is fine...circa 5mm. However, the entire knot is set into the handle at a wonky angle.

I think volume is more of a concern than stringent QC at casa Yaqi.
