I have seen a lot of customs, but does anyone have the basic Shavemac D01 brush? I like a small brush and the 18mm only runs $105...
Any help would be great

You can email Bernd and have him make one with whatever loft you want, and I don't think it would cost any extra. Then you'd have a custom brush of sorts. It would be wonderful, I'm sure.

There's no extra charge for a custom. You can order the $105 D01 brush and just specify it with a shorter loft (I would recommend 45mm)

That may be what I have to do then. 45mm just happens to be my personal favorite.
The service from Shavemac is really excellent. I'll just throw this out there, and it's merely my opinion. An 18mm knot with a 45mm loft is a very small brush. I love short lofts and have several 44-47mm loft brushes, but I've used an 18mm with a 46mm loft and it was not very impressive. The density is just not there in the sub 19mm knots. I am not satisfied with less than a 21mm knot in these lofts, but that is me. Additionally, in this size(18/45) please consider the head shape carefully. A fan would be preferable to a bulb which would feel like a toy in that small brush. The tip of the bulb would simply not hold up to lathering very well. Simply put, smaller knot=smaller, pointier tip. YMMV of course and you know your preferences where I do not. This is just my casual experience.
