As we run willingly & dive headfirst into the brush rabbit hole, some of us are confronted with an opportunity to acquire yet more brushes. The cause can be our search for the "right" brush. But it's not just about the knot. Oh my no! The same knot set at two different lofts can, as we know, feel & perform vastly differently. I'm currently examining what I want in my next few brushes (because I don't have enough already). And my dear friend who has loaned me some of his to try also included two brushes set at 2 different lofts. Both are 28mm Shavemac 2 Band knots set in beautiful Rudy Vey handles. One is set at the recommended loft while the other brush is set a few mm's lower to provide a bit more backbone. Both are a joy to use, neither gets a bad review by this writer. Does anyone have multiple Shavemacs set at different lofts? What do you like about each?
Let's broaden this thread in the interest of science! (Not really in the interest of science, how about in the interest of enabling more folks)!

I'm not trying to convince anyone what is right. There isn't a "right" loft except the loft that you like. I'm starting this thread to consolidate people's thoughts & feelings about the effect loft has on brush performance. And when we're ordering a custom brush, I for one, like to have as much information that I can get so my brush ends up what I was hoping it would be.
