Well, Yaqi had a bye bye 2020 sale. 30% off sitewide so I thought, why not? The SHD gel tip badger was the real get at $25.50. I know it's only 24mm (I prefer knots 26mm or above), but it's the only one in stock and it would be fiscally irresponsible for me not to get it at that price (at least that's what I tell myself). Really keen to compare it to the Oumo SHD, but I think I'll take my time to source a nice handle for it first. 24mm HD boar knot and 28mm Tuxedo round out the purchases to make the $45 free shipping minimum.
