The handle is Sambar Antler and has some weight to it,on the bottom, the porious area was drilled out and a abalone disk inserted.The brush itself is a Shavemac D01,2 band flat top knot, 20mm and a loft of 42mm.I wanted to keep the brush as natural as possible and Rudy did a great job,pictures really do not do justice to this brush :biggrin1:

Thanks again Rudy!!
 
That is very sweet! I'm looking forward to more photos once you have the new brush in use.

How does the flat top differ from the bulb top?

The shape is quite different, with the flattop shape you have a huge amount of hair in your face - I always recommend to go with a size from 18-22 mm max with a sweet spot at 20 mm knot size. The feel of the "small" knot is like at least a 30-32 mm bulb shaped knot.
 
Thanks everyone,I've been busy on a music project so I haven't been checking the boards like I normally do.

Today was the maiden voyage of the flat top and for a 2 band,d01 Shavemac knot, it was very comfortable,nice and soft tips,and great backbone.It did a great job face lathering Mama Bear's Lemon Ice.Very impressive! Usually with 2 banders especially Shavemac's you need a lil break in time,sometimes up to a month or more,this one is giving up the goods out of the box,well done Rudy :thumbup:
