That’s why I use the ones made by Personna. $3 for a ten pack. There’s also some out there made by Dorco that are pretty good.I got a 10 pack for $12.99 shipped. Nearly half what Walgreens wanted

Thanks for that tidbit, I wasn't sure if those were any good or not and wasn't ready to take a chance without knowing.
How do they each compare in your opinion? I haven't seen a lot of good things about the Personnas on Amazon, but people exaggerate a lot.
Couldn’t say. Haven’t used them in ages. Used to be my travel razor, but now I just take a DE. But I’ve never had an issue with any of them. I think I preferred the Personna to the Dorco. But I recall the dorcos getting a lot of praise back in the day.
Thanks. Looks like I'll have to try them all.

Snagged the $9.99 per 100 Lab Blue closeout deal on TSS. What a steal.

I had a bad experience getting something from them. Glad it came and looking forward to your thoughts on the serums.

My Yaqi brush arrived today. Ordered from Aliexpress 7/13 and arrived here in Chicagoland 15 days later. Not bad at all and much better than the horror stories I had heard from others. First brush purchase since 2017 and the first "next generation" synthetic knot I'll have tried as all 3 of my other synthetic knots are first generation Plisson knots from 2013. Already loving the longer handle.

Just arrived today from the bay. USPS shipping routes are really confusing to me. This was an instate purchase where I am located 115 miles south of the sender, but USPS sent it to Portland Oregon first before returning it to Denver and then on to me. Package traveled over 2000 miles when it could have traveled less than 200. No wonder the USPS is in such poor financial shape. Anyway,

I’m thinking about doing a restore & re-knot on the Rubberset brush, any tips for getting the old knot out and setting a new one?
