Tried Tuxedo 24mm .. what's next?

[Z-2]

Hello,

I am completely new to synthetic brushes, and I have own only 1 - Yaqi Tuxedo 24 mm, which I like. My question is to you, more experienced users - what should be my next choice? I see a lot of different synthetic hair types, and I may get mew or timber wolf. Or maybe pony, mink or snow leopard?

I guess it all depends on what you want from your brush. I have found the Razorock black noir in 24mm to be very good for face lathering and recently ordered a Yaqi brush with the same hair and a slightly larger 26mm knot. Small investments really so you can afford to get a few.

A few more to look at are APshave brushes in general and the Simpsons Trafalgar. Plenty more out there and probably many more suggestions to come in this thread.

Ap Shave Synbad ideally 26mm or above.

I am mostly face lather, so I am looking for something softer.

Softer in tips or softer in terms of backbone?

Was very pleased with it. I can't think of anything negative to say about it.

The Cashmere knot is my favourite in terms of low backbone.

Time for the Yaqi Slant as well.

Exactly what I went with yesterday.
Yaqi slant and an apshave co knot.
Knot only as I am going to put one in a handle.
