Fat Badger

[OtherMoe]

I had to see what a 30mm was like. A 30mm Silver Tip Grade A from TGN in a Fuller Black on Butterscotch. Last photo is next to a 16mm knot for size comparison.

Does anyone make a 30mm boar knot?

I'd maybe pay to see someone try to whip up some lather with that thing. Bet it's a real soap killer.

Probably the most awesome brush display pics I've seen, especially the Fat Bastard one. Also, that 16mm looks like a "wee baby" next to the 30mm monster.

I think the 30mm should tell the 16mm to "GET IN MY BELLY!!"

If you ever have to paint a house... Seriously it looks great

Where the heck did you find that handle ?

Would be difficult to face lather, but it just might work. Looks like a lather hog though, lots of air in the middle.

Funny! Pull the string on the back of Fat Bastard and that's one of the things he says

Might be a bit big for house painting

Heck, I tried to sell it once: http://badgerandblade.com/vb/showthread.php?t=200992 , but it didn't sell, so I decided to use it.

Found him on ebay years and years ago.

You could make 4+ brushes in my preferred sizes out of that.

That is exactly what I am looking for! Great looking brush, how did you like using it? I don't know if any of the handles I have will support a 30mm but I am going to start looking now!
Thanks for posting this.

how did you like using it?

Maiden voyage (maybe better stated as a "breakdown cruise") was just a test/cleaning lather. Will probbaly use first time tomorrow

Good luck Dave and if you find one, please let me know. I have pretty much given up hope of finding one in the wild.
None of the handles I have seen would have been able to handle 30mm.

Set at 50mm loft.The TGN grade A 30s are the quentisential face lathering brush.

This is what I found from TGN.com Brush handle blank and 30mm Silver tip badger knot. About 100 bucks all together. Figure I could assemble it myself and call it my first. First I got to get rid of some stuff on the BST before I buy more.

EDIT Knot link wasn't working http://www.thegoldennib.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=9_42&products_id=491

Yeah, I saw those. I was talking about a 30mm vintage, especially with butterscotch in it somewhere.
Had I of seen the listing by Othermoe, I would have snapped it up. I think at the time I was ignorant of the joys of large brushes.

Just finished this bad 30 today

I see no PETA inspired disclaimer. I imagine a badger is shivering in the wilds of China right now.
