A Small Brush is Not Just for Travel Anymore

Really liking my Wee Scot. Got it for travel but the more I test with it the more impressed I get. Wouldn't hurt my feelings to use it daily. Then again, i have larger brushes for that.
I have a little 20mm German made boar brush that might be as old as I am.
Left, Maggard 22mm synthetic. Center the German boar. Right Omega 10005.
Its tiny and very....robust. It has enough backbone to hurt someone lol. If it splayed like a badger and didnt have so much backbone, it might be pretty good.

Cool!
I’ve got a Wee Scott that lives in a small carry on kit. It’s ok for a weekend, but it’s just barely big enough for me to do the job, and I’d never daily with it.
I’ve got an Omega mixed midget that packs almost as small, and performs much better and more comfortably in hand.
I’ve got a Whipped Dog 20/45mm that was my big kit traveler that I haven’t used in years.
That’s the extend of my small collection.

Thanks. If you could be more specific about such a method, or refer me to a link dealing with the subject, I'd appreciate it.
Not familiar with Whipped Dog.
The Wee Scott and small Omegas are interesting to me. I use my Omega Pro regularly. Looking at the smaller Simpsons.
Thanks a lot! Exactly what I needed to see.
Its pretty straight forward and easy to do. The hardest part is to clean out the hole prior to putting in a new knot. I used a Dremel and a stone to do the ones I've done.
I finished the brush.
Here it is compared to a couple of other barber handled brushes.
This little guy is awesome!

Has anyone used the brush from this Proraso travel kit? If it's a rebranded Omega like Proraso's other brush, it might be a nice little brush.
I bought an 11047 for travel about 4 years so, but liked the knot so much I use it much more at home. Used it yesterday in fact. I really don't care for the handle though. The girth is OK, but it's too stubby. I'll eventually add about 1/2" to 3/4" by gluing on an acrylic piece. Same thing will be done to my Omega Bambino, another small brush you should consider.

Thanks for the recommendation. How does the stiffness hold up?
