TGN Finest Badger XH is HUGE

[tomcj2]

I bought a TGN 22 mm Finest Badger Knot XH (2 band). The resin base measures exactly 22mm at its widest, but the knot flairs out until it is almost 24 mm about 15 mm from the bottom. I will have to get busy with my Dremel on the Ever-Ready 20? that I intended to put it in.

My TGN 22 was the same way. You definitely need to account for it when you purchase.

If you set the knot on its side and roll it on a hard surface, you can knock that wide edge at the top of the glue down a little bit with no ill effects. But yes, they do run on the large size. Heck of a knot!!

Turtle is simply reminding us all of the irrefutable adage here that "if there are no pics, it didn't happen".

That is the norm with most knots for the most part.

I should have read the section from TGN's web site reproduced below:

Measurements- Just a word on knot measurements. PLUG size generally runs about 1mm less than the description size + or - .5mm, so a 22mm knot can have a plug size of 20.5mm to 21.5mm. Knots with extra hair, will generally be a touch WIDER above the plug, do to the extra packing of hair. So using a 22mm knot with extra hair the bulge of hair above the plug may be 23mm. The height of the plug is about 8mm in general. The LOFT is the measurment of from the bottom of the base plug to the tips measured in mm. I wish the measurments were more exacting, but we are dealing with hand made natuaral hair items.
