So you use it like this? Is that a 3d printed mini handle grip on that? Nice!
Muhle STF 23 mm with the stock handle. Nice carry-on travel Shave today with the BIC Comfort 3 razor. Check out my journal to read the details. Cheers! 
No. It's just the base of the knot, no handle. It is small, but big enough to handle the "brush" comfortably. I have used it at home several times without any problem.

I may add a small 3D handle for added stability when I lay it down on the sink between passes, but I find it OK as it is now.
It isn’t small, but as soon as I realized this RV with 25mm Muhle STF fit in my travel tube, it has become my travel brush of choice.
It came out ok. Snug fit, no need of any glue. Removable.No. It's just the base of the knot, no handle. It is small, but big enough to handle the "brush" comfortably. I have used it at home several times without any problem.

Brillant idea and execution!
Choice of 2 travel set ups for me.
Handmade brush from @2bit_collie synthetic knot loaded with Arko currently.
And an Omega 50014 travel boar with a stick of soap.
These are only for car travel. Plane travel going forward will be a disposable razor and canned foam bought at destination. Last flight we checked a bag and waited over an hour for the luggage carousel...never again!!

I would love to see this brush done in their S-Brush synthetic bristles. It’s such a neat design but the boar needs time to dry so no good for overnighters.
Ya it does take a bit to dry for sure.
Our travels rarley see us move more then every few days so it works for me.
Semogue 610 & RR Barberpole Synth

Mine was in action these last two days on a trip to Chicago to visit family. I wish I knew what the knot was, but I don't have the correspondence with Reyes Restores any longer. Two great 9.0/10 DFS with this minimalist travel set. BIC Metal, La Toja stick (old formula, of course) Thayer's WH and Floid in the little bottles.
Either of these 2 are perfect for travel if you have a tube to fit it.
Currently the Muhle STF gets most of my travel use. The Wee Scot is in the small pill bottle and punches well above its weight but is still a small brush. The Major was my main travel brush until it developed a shedding problem after less than 30 uses. Because Simpson would not make it right, I purchased the Muhle as my primary brush. Then Simpson Classic 2, Chubby 1, and Duke 3 are just for comparative purposes. The Simpson case contained a Classic 1 synth that I found absolutely useless and have moved it out of my den.

I smell like a Christmas pudding
I had a Classic 1 synth and it was hopeless, like trying to lather with my elbow. I would have had a better result holding the knot and lathering with the handle. I sold it on the bay and was embarrassed to do so - a pathetic, shameful, travesty of a brush. That said, there must be huge variances in the knots in the Classic synth because some people love them.
Today.
Kent Infinity after three passes of Arko. One application of Arko.
New handle. Better grip, fresh from the printer.
