How much smaller is the mighty midget compared to the VDH Luxury Brush? I think I would enjoy a brush that is slightly smaller than my VDH Luxury. I face lather most of the time. Any suggetions?

Here's an old pic:
It's small enough not to be uncomfortable or cumbersome. It's still bigger than the Wee Scot. A lot of brush for the money. I liked the mixed boar/badger that I'm waiting on a Vulfix 404 Grosvenor boar/badger. It's soft, has plenty of backbone, and you can feel a benign scritch. Very nice for face lathering and the brush can dig through any hard soap and isn't too much of a hog. It's the best deal in brushes if you ask me.

Jorge,
If you prefer face lathering this is brush for you. As with any Boar over time tips soften up. It wasn't prickly for me upon initial use IIRC.
Currently can't take pictures with mobile so here's some old images-please pardon the poor images:
I know it's hard to see in last image is both VDH in blue and white handle.
Specs help you out- lost original spec sheet I created with all measured brushes upon arrival:

The handle is about as tall as a knuckle, and it is tiny. Here is a shot in relation to my hand:
Fun brush though, makes more lather than it's diminutive size suggests.

I picked up this brush thanks to Krona's excellent article. At first, I found it to be too prickly but I've found that I prefer soft tips. It has since grown on me and is likely getting softer. It lathers very well for its size and price. I'm glad I picked it up as it will be my travel brush.

Thanks for all the info. Will probably pick it up with my next purchase when ever that is.
