Big Knot Lovers

[ambrose]

So Im building a custom brush, thanks to lucky and slagle for enabling

My question is for all the large knot lovers like myself.
I currently use a rooney 1/3 which has a 26mm knot.

How big is too big?

I wouldn't mind going bigger but I don't want it to be ridiculous either.

Here is my brush in an older SOTD for reference.

Also here is my thread on deciding on silver tip or a 2 band.

You are quite welcome, again!

You won't really know if it's too big until you've used it in hand for a bit...
I like big...
I would mount it low so there is some backbone to it.

im thinking 28-32mm call me crazy but I like big. Colossal but usable

I have a two band Chubby three that's a nice brush. For me, a knot that big needs some backbone or it will splay out on my face too much. Two band helps when the knots get large.

Made a brush with a 28 mm knot, and it looks great. Have not used it, I want to sell it. But if the knot develops the same way my personal 24 mm Silvertip developed, than it will be huge!!

Personally I wouldn't go anything over a 24mm knot.

i feel that anything above 25mm lacks the backbone to really anything at all other than slap lather on your face.

maybe if you used pure badger though?

25mm is about the limit for my face. Just got in my 177 Shavemac and its perfect...I wont be going larger.
