Well I got this knot from Major Burns and i am going back and forth on which handle to put it in.The knot in question is an IKON chubby 24mm.The first pic is just for fun comparing the length of the knot to a 26mm silver from GNIB.The other 2 are the handles in question.What do you think?

I prefer the Red/White EverReady.
I am amazed you got the hole big enough for that knot. Nice.

The ivory handle wants a longer knot (more loft) to help with balance. Assuming it's seated at the bottom of the hole, I would put in a fan shaped knot to give it more loft without it turning into a giant light bulb. I made one with a GN Super Fan - 22mm - and it's great. I have a Penworks 22mm Finest that is nice and soft, but, for me, it's just too big and spongy.
Edit: I just realized that I should qualify my comment. I bowl lather, and those who face lather would probably view it differently.

I went with the Klenzo because it just felt better in the hand even though it is not as proportionately even as the other handle would have been.Think of it as a 2/1 or a 1/2 (however it goes).1st pic is unused,2nd pic is bloomed,3rd pic is 100 swirls on mamas spellbound,4 pic is a density pic,5th pic is a side by side with a 20mm super fan shape from gnib set at 43mm, this brush loft is45mm.
I have the same penworks 22mm in finest, I face lather, and I wish it was smaller also.
Takes more time and product than necessary. A 20mm, even an 18mm, would be perfect.
