Do all boar brushes splay this way?

[Chan Eil Whiskers]

Could you please specify knot/loft?

Thanks

My measurements. My calipers.

1. Antica Barberia Mondial Boar Shaving Brush. Knot 26mm. Loft 58mm.
2. Zenith Pro Aluminum Handle Big Boar. Knot 26mm. Loft 57mm.

Happy shaves,

Jim

Were their official dimensions 60mm loft?

Thanks again

The Mondial was, yes:

Knot diameter: 26mm
Bristle loft: 60mm
Handle height: 65mm
Overall height: 120mm
Weight: 82g (2.9oz).

The Zenith was not:

Metal Handle Professional Shave Brush. This brush has a large and dense 26 mm Boar Knot attached to it. Unlike most of the other Zenith Pro brushes, loft is set at only 57mm. Effective loft is 52-54mm from the glue bump. This makes this brush a great face latherer without the flop. Total weight is a respectable 92 grams.

The Mondial is my favorite boar, I think. All my Zeniths are excellent (none have lofts higher than 57mm).

Glad to help.
