Another great shave with the Stirling sheep. I used my Yaqi synth with the G5C knockoff knot. This was to confirm that it is a bit scritchy, and I'm not interested in getting another. Lol.
The backstory... Saturday I saw a brush on The Razor Company (their own) that I was interested in. Unfortunately, it has an AK7 knot. That appears to be similar to the Yaqi: A scritchy version of the G5C. (Based on others reviews)
I sent a message to Jason to find out if he uses Silicone or cement. If it's silicone, I should be able to pull it. Otherwise, I need to know if I can live with another scritchy brush (probably not). Fingers crossed that I hear from him soon (and it's good news). Still, as long as he can answer the question, I'll be happy knowing what I'm getting into.
Regardless, the Stirling, the Karve, and the Dorco Prime do their jobs well and I'm happy and close shaven.
Have a great rest of your evening folks.
