Joel, that so great of you to add the smaller sizes. Terrific. Much, much appreciated!!!
go you 23
My two cents, and opinionated opinions on the matter:
Make the 2009 either a nice tight, small brush, or a big honkin' one.
The LE should be a "statement" brush, not some middle of the road, try to please all people sort of a brush.
23-24mm is a mid size sedan, a Toyota Camry of brushes if you will. Reliable, trusted, yet also boring and predictable. C&E, Meule, Dovo, Shavemac, you name it, they put out a 23-24mm 55-60mm loft face mop brush for the hoi polloi.
Boring.
The 2008 LE looked to be great (alas, I missed out....), but I loved the design concept: small knot diameter, short loft, yet using soft bristles. Sounds great! Unique! Not everyone's cup of tea perhaps, but that why it's a Limited Edition, right?
So, I say design something again unique. Either another tight little face lathering machine ala the 2008, or try something totally different: maybe a 26mm fan shape with <50mm loft? How would that feel? It'd be big, but not a face mop with the short loft keeping it tight.
Anyhow. I voted for the 22mm. But I just say, make the LE a unique brush no matter what the knot size. Make it something different.
Right on! thats what I am saying, not many people own large brushes but man they are fantastic especially when paired with a short loft. I was thinking along the lines of a small chubby type of feel. 25 or 26 knot with a 48-50 loft.
I got so excited, I'm ordering some knots from GN to make up some personal prototypes!
Nice!! have you seen my restored hoffritz chubby 3 ? finest golden nib 30mm knot hole and a 48-50 loft I cant remember. Yes I take every opportunity to post this pic when I can. Can you believe this is all it has bloomed.
Im also hoping the pic might inspire a larger brush after seeing what a large knot and a short loft can look like.

That is a voluptuous little brush. I see you are working your angle planting ideas. Maybe '09 could be a modern Butterscotch colored razor?
Oh man that would be so sick!!!!! oh wait razor or brush?
