What about the Yaqi Moka2Band?I know where your coming from, but I've definitely seen such differences in several brush manufacturers, including shavemac 2 bands. My 2015 TSR brushes were more curly tipped and softer than any other year of LE that I've bought (most of them). I'm not saying they are "better" but definitely different and if curly tips are your thing, then I guess they would be preferable.
I've also got a 2012 Simpson's Manchurian which is a TOTALLY different beast to the newer ones. All my Romera knots are very different too, from super curled tipped, to zero curled tips.
To be fair as with most things in life some people will always suggest theirs is the "best", maybe for the prestige, and often to just keep the resale value high, but batches of hair definitely change characteristics from what I've seen.
Yaqi moka whatnow??? Lol. Never had one.What about the Yaqi Moka2Band?

I would like a comparison with the Shavemac to see if the latter worths the extra money.Yaqi moka whatnow??? Lol. Never had one.![]()
ahhh ok. Hopefully someone can help you with that.I would like a comparison with the Shavemac to see if the latter worths the extra money.

I really like the carbon blankI noticed Bernd is offering three new resins on the website.
He often has a lot more available (purple, haze, disco, amber, lime, ect) so I'm never sure why he doesn't list them in the configurator section.I really like the carbon blank

There's a link immediately below the available handle colors, which takes you to this webpage, and just below the link a text box in which you write the name of your desired color as it appears on the other webpage. If Bernd doesn't have it available, he will order it. (They are only available for brushes with knots up to 26mm, though.) It will add 14 Euros to the price.He often has a lot more available (purple, haze, disco, amber, lime, ect) so I'm never sure why he doesn't list them in the configurator section.
