Being pretty new to wet shaving, I'm not up to speed on most thing, but I've been doing some reading on the wiki, and loft is the length of the bristles.
Looking through various pics of of vintage brushes, and there doesn't seem to be the various shapes there are now, and they appear to be a fair bit longer in loft that most brushes now.
More modern brushes seem to come in mainly 3 types (bulb, fan, and hybrid) and the somewhat less common flat, where as the older vintage brushes are pretty straight.
When did this change occur, or is it a that the brushes just end up with a fairly straight look after years of use?
