^ That's a really nice job David, congratulations!

Here's my Ever Ready PB 500. It's 77mm high vs the 66 mm of the Wee Scot, but is still tiny. Shown with my bigger boar at 135mm.

At last! A tiny synthetic available for purchase!

Wow! Thanks for the heads-up Cash.

I've been looking for a tiny synthetic forever. You' da man!

I've just ordered, and taken advantage of Maggard's new economy shipping rate ($3.13 to the UK) too, fabulous.
Here's the little baby at actual size:

Knot: 18mm
Loft: 41mm
Handle height: 37mm
Total height: 78mm

My Maggard Travel Timberwolf landed today.

Here it is with some friends to give you an idea of its size (it's the black one):

Knot: 18mm (20mm at top of handle)
Loft: 41mm
Handle height: 37mm
Handle width: 28mm diameter (MAX)
Total height: 78mm
Weight: 30g

That thud I just felt was my failure
To order one of these prior to Jan. 1. So sad.

Let’s prime the pump.

MY 3 SMALLEST (From Left):
Vulfix 2006C pure badger
Vintage Kent K31 “pure briatle”
QSH synthetic with imitation rhinoceros horn handle

 

[Klinker]

I mushed some Arko shave soap into a bowl that I use to work up a great lather with a tiny vintage Kent K31 boar brush.

Is a Simpsons Colonel X2L too big?
It is 21x45x98 mm

The knot size is perfectly fine IMO. I dunno about the handle as it seems fairly tall (at 53mm). Maybe Jesse @rockero (our TBOC founder) will weigh in and give his opinion...

Beaming you up Jesse.

Thanks!
It’s my first small knot.
Another brush will follow.
I don’t need a big brush.

Okay,
Now I get the picture.
As long as the handle is thicker these will work.
Thinking about the S10065 or the Maggard Timberwolf have to wait for the Wee Scott.
Will one of those work?

 

[Schnitzel52]

Keep your eyes open for the announcement.
I hear that Rudy Vey is working on a small brush in the 16 to 18 mm range.

You've lost me there Schnitzel, what do you mean?

The Omega S10065 is a typical mid-range brush with a ~24/51 knot, so it's too big. The Maggard 18mm Travel Timberwolf is a tiny, and the Wee Scot is definitely a tiny.

You’re right that was vague.
The tendons on my right thumb are severely damaged and the joints are pinned. Doc says to avoid small handles.
The 100065 is out of the picture.
I want smaller brushes without tiny handles.
The Timberwolf is a candidate as is the upcoming small brush from Rudy Vey.

 

[Schnitzel52]

This just in.
I has a reply from Dave at YaQi
There is a 19mm knot soon to be released. The picture didn’t come through. I will post when it arrives.
