Synthetic Wee Scot?

[ylekot]

Are there any synthetic brushes comparable in size to the Simpson Wee Scot? I would like to try synthetic but I really like the size of the Wee Scot.
Thanks!

As far as I know - no. I haven't seen any tiny synthetics really.

This 18mm from Maggard (Timberwolf) is fairly wee, although not Wee Scot wee. Knot: 18mm / Loft: 41mm

I think one on the smallest size is the Muhle STF 39 K 257 that has a 19 mm knot, not even close to the Wee

Cheers

How small is the knot? If you want, you could reknot the wee Scott with a synth

13mm, I'm not aware of any available knot be it synthetic or otherwise of this size.

Even the Omega Bambino is 18mm.

In my opinion, synthetic brushes don't really scale down in knot size the same way badger brushes do. I love many synthetic brushes, but the very small ones are certainly not my favorites. If you're planning to try your first synthetic brush, I'd recommend something a bit larger. Maybe something along the lines of a Trafalgar T1, which is a very nice synthetic brush.

Why?

The Wee Scot dries quickly, lathers great and has excellent face feel; all at a reasonable price.

Just my $0.02!

The Wee Scot is amazing! I just wish we didn't kill critters to make them.

Yeah it's tiny in comparison to others which gives me a bit more accuracy and it really face lathers great for me.

The smallest and best I have is the Muhle synthetic (high end) in small size. Same as Edwin Jagger. 19mm

Now tiny brushes.....Omega Mighty Midget mixed (badger/boar) is probably one of the best out there if you small brushes.....a bit of break in and then it's amazing.

Omega Mighty Midget, I am intrigued

I believe it’s the Mixed Midget and it can be quite scritchy but there is also the 599 - same brush in Super.
For comparison it’s the last one on the right

If you don’t mind boar there is also the Omega/Proraso Bambino

I bought a Frank Shaving 16mm synthetic knot and set it in a small handle. I'm not happy with the knot and the resulting brush. I have several other 16mm brushes using the same handle and all of them are much better. I'm happy with other synthetic brushes. I'm not sure if the problem is just the small size or if the Frank Shaving knot material is lacking.
