These brushes do have great hair and I don't think having a shorter loft would hurt them in the least. That said, I still prefer the feel of a taller loft

I'm the exact opposite. Short lofted+dense+stiff brushes are really the only ones I do like. Hell, I'm probably one of the only ones on this board crazy enough to have a custom DO1 2-band 24mm knot set at a loft of 42mm (though it is an extreme flat top).

One of the few...I was considering having another made with such a short loft. My 46 feels a touch tall.
I have a 50mm and a 53mm loft versions. Not so sure that this hair would work well much shorter than 50mm. It would be beyond firm, bordering on abusive.However, ymmv etc.
My feeling as well, but there are those here (Seth, I'm calling you out
Vlad... You too buddy) who like that sort of thing
Personally, if mine were any shorter, I wouldn't like it nearly as much.
Ken
I was just messaging with Lee and he informed that he had a couple of 24mm x 48mm brushes. Got a pic of my new 27 mm and its beautiful. Ill post it later.

Ken, haven't heard from you for a while. How are you liking the big M & F brush? Is it all it was cranked up to be?
Fred
Fred
Fred, it's an excellent brush and top notch quality. What I'm unsure about is the density/loft. It's almost too dense for my liking (per YMMV stuff as many would consider it too tall and not dense enough
). I think I'd like it much better 5-7 mm taller. No denying it's top notch and great hair though.Still breaking in though, so time will tell.

Ken, are you face lathering or using the bowl?
My horn handled brush **finally** arrived yesterday and I am eager to try it. I have not read every post in this thread so someone may have mentioned it, but Lee's wife was expecting any moment when he sent my brush and has almost certainly delivered by now, so congrats should be in order.
Lee also offered me a 30mm/56mm version that I passed on and suggested that he contact Ken our resident big brush lover. Its the one on the left below.

Lee also passed along the following note about how the Blonde hair compares with his 3-band and the accompanying photo as well...
[Quote Lee] Hi mike
think you may find this interesting see the length of the blonde badger to start against super.
We have to cut it back to the same as super to use.
I hate waste but you can not do anything about it to get the right hair.
Sorry I really don't think I am going to get website up till march.
I am going to send you a picture of the special brush its 30mm but only 56mm loft.
Very soft not a hint of scratch but good backbone.I face lather and this is a really treat.
Regards
Lee [End Quote]

Face, my friend!

I have very sensitive skin, and with mine I had to change my technique a bit. I don't put much pressure against my face when lathering.
Gents, you are true enabler for someone. Yet I was not the winner.

If you want one just contact him via email.
Yeah I was watching that just to see what it'd go for. I'll bet seeing that makes the guys who bought direct happy that they did.
No joke!! I quit watching at 99.81. It really shot up there fast!

That's $160 US by today's exchange rate.
I know. And also Lee sent me a second chance offer but I do not want to pay extra for ebay fees.
Who wants a Rooney Heritage if you have an M&F blonde badger one.
