Yaqi and DNCosmetic synthetic brushes have been excellent too.. much better than the badgers I had from Taylor's
If you can buy from AliExpress, there are lots of good options there. Yaqi, Boti, DSCosmetics. They all make awesome synthetic brushes.
My $30 Yaqi setups are more comfortable and surprisingly well made.
It’s hard to find a bad synthetic. Yaqi, PAA, AP Shaving, Muhle, Sterling, all great.
