I actually just got an Amici a month ago. Used it twice. I don’t like the huge glue bump that is 5mm above the handle in the center of the knot.
I’m probably going to PIF it in the new members forum.

Gotcha. I never noticed any bump on mine. I dont really push it into/against my face that firmly. My second brush and one of my favorites.
I don’t push it into my face either, but a huge glue bump is there on mine. Feel with your finger at the base of your knot and report back? I’m curious if mine is just a one off.
I can feel a sort of raised bit where handle and knot meet. To me it feels like its just from the bristles bending over...basically as wide as the knot...could be glue tho. Spread the bristles out and cant see anything.I don’t push it into my face either, but a huge glue bump is there on mine. Feel with your finger at the base of your knot and report back?

Bummer if yours is defective, its a great little brush in my opinion.
Omega boar brush 10777 with a knot of 23mm and loft 47mm.
It’s probably a glue bump like mine. Shaving and lathering is a very individual perception as I’m sure you know. What bugs me, you might not even notice and won’t bother you.
I have been spoiled by using Plisson’s from Plisson. No glue bumps or any other bumps in their knots at all.
Plisson actually has a newer type synthetic hair called white mountain synthetic. It’s an expensive brush. I know I can get it in their number 12 size which is a 22mm, but I want to try a good quality 20mm brush if I can find it.
I have a 18 mm Timberwolf synthetic travel brush from Maggard’s. A bit stiff for my liking. I think a 20 mm knot would be a perfect split between the 18 and 22 mm.
I see, ya that whole ymmv thing.
I feel a glue bump, you feel it’s just from the bristles bending over. I never knew bristles ‘bent over’ at the base of the knot?
It has to be ymmv, doesn’t it?
LOL I meant when I push them over. Not so much that they are bent.I feel a glue bump, you feel it’s just from the bristles bending over. I never knew bristles ‘bent over’ at the base of the knot?

BLADE: Wizamet Super Iridium
BRUSH: vtg. brush w/Boti 16mm silver tip badger
LATHER: OSP Neroli Scented Shaving Soap
POST: OSP Neroli Scented Aftershave Lotion
I wanted to update you and say, this micro brush barely lathers maybe due to it being dormant for nearly 40 years and the bristles being really dry, or maybe it's just too small lol. It's a great little novelty in the end.

Brush: Simpson Wee Scot 13/39
Soap: Rasozero Agrumella
Razor: 1939 Gillette NEW RFB GT
Blade: Gillette 7o'clock Ninja (14)
ASL: Orange FREEZE [home brew]
An excellent shave.
I decided to give my Wee Scot another few shaves, to get past that seemingly magical 40 count (to kill the scritch). It's really a terrific little brush. Just a single load before my regular face lather gave me well more than enough for the complete shave (as usual
).
Happy shaves guys.

I've got a Yaqi 20mm Cashmere, it has a 48mm loft with no glue bump.
It could be a brush to investigate if that Razorock Amici's 5mm glue bump was too much for you.
Does this one count for membership of the TBOC?
Tiniest brush that I have ever seen. A vintage French travel brush with its silver case in almost perfect condition. Pictured alongside my SOC brush and my vintage NOS Plisson plexi #20 (Knot: 29mm, Loft: 70mm, Handle Height: 70mm, Handle Weight:60mm) for reference.
No idea who would have every chosen such a tiny brush to shave with! But I absolutely love it. It's one of my favourite brushes just because it's so cute!

It's certainly tiny in height, but as we base tiny on the knot size now (REFERENCE), it may not qualify.
If you can measure the knot at the top of the handle (calipers would be helpful), that's usually about 2mm bigger than the actual knot (in the handle).
