I've recently got an EJ STF in large from Connaught and am blown away by the brush.
My other synthetic is an - also amazing - Trafalgar T3. It took me a while for the T3 to get to the top of my list, but once it got there...
Comparing the brushes seem like alternating between one of those large, luxurious Mercedes and a nimble Porsche. Different, but both excel on their respective turfs.
Splitting hairs (pun intended), I'd say the tips of the STF may feel a tiny little prickly when the brush is splayed, when compared to the T3. And that the "water flow" of the STF is a bit better than the T3.
Having said all that, my question is: both knots have the same heig, but completely different dimensions otherwise. That got me thinking about how the X-Large STF compares to the T3 (or the EVO, if you will).
Any thoughts on this worn out subject which, in spite of the many inputs, continues to interest me?!
PS. I strongly advise anyone considering this brush to buy this handle shape!!!
