Big Handle brush - recommend me one

Hi - I think I like big brushes with a manageable loft (normal size know?)...my current one is no longer being made but was purchased from the Trumper's store and here are the dimensions
[FONT=&amp]Handle Width = 5cm
Handle Height = 7cm
Hair Height = 6cm
Hair Bloom =5cm[/FONT]



Any recommendations?
Thanks guys....

How about an Omega 49 Pro Boar brush?

Dimensions:
Bristle Length: 55 mm
Bristle Diameter: 27 mm
Overall Length: 128 mm
Handle Length: 73mm

Or are you strictly looking for Badger?
 
Simpson Balmoral Silvertip :

Overall height 182mm
Loft height 63mm
Handle height 119mm
Knot diam. 32mm
 
A Rooney Victorian (75mm handle) springs to mind.

There's also a Vulfix 2235 (60mm handle), 2236 (70mm handle), & 377 (62mm handle) in addition to the No. 38 (120mm handle) and No.40 (75mm handle).

Other options include a Simpsons M7 (60mm handle), No. 59 (61mm handle), M&F L7 (58mm to 62mm handle depending on version), a Rooney Urn (58mm handle) and a Kent BK12 (58mm handle with a humongous knot).

all are worth considering IMHO.
 
The first brushes that come to mind are the Simpson Polo 10 and Polo 12 - great brushes with big, beautiful handles.

Yep, I would have to go with the Polo line up too

Here is the 12 I had standing next to a Feather razor to give you an idea of just how big it is

It depends how You hold the brush.
I am 6' tall and have above average hand size.
The brushes i found mist comfortable were Da Vinci 293 (wow) and Semogue Owner's Club.
The Da Vinci is truly a work of art in that regard.
Large size and.ergonomic are completely different things.
I also have a restored barber's brush whuch is very comfortable for lathering domeone else's face ....

I have a Vulfix 41 and it is truly huge, I bought it for the large handle and it certainly meets my requirements. Only issue is that the large knot eats a lot of lather... but at least I can try something different more often!
