Tweezerman Knot Size

[Jethro1984]

I was curious if anyone knew the knot size of the Tweezerman Badger Brush.

The reason I want to know is i've sent Bernd at Shavemac a custom request for a 23mm D01 because I want a larger knot but i'm concerned it might be a bit of overkill because I don't actually know what size the Tweezerman knot is. I own no other brushes so I have no relative comparison. I tried to measure the knot at the handle opening (which is not exact) and it seems to be about 20-21mm but I know that's not the actual knot size (it can only be measured out of the handle).

Thanks in advance.

I believe it is around 19mm. But beware a higher quality brush will not only most likely have a bigger knot but will also probably be much denser. That is what I found with my Simpson's Commodore. I need much more product to make up for all of the extra soft bristles.

So 23mm won't be a huge jump upward then.

Yes I understand the necessity for more product use with a larger and more dense brush, but if it helps my lathering troubles (due to significantly hard water), it will be well worth it.

I think it's 20

I think it's 20

No way...I have a 22mm knot now and it's quite a bit bigger by eye comparison. I'd say it's 18 or 19 most.
