Sadly I can't use my bone and ivory brushes at all.Do you use that brush much for shaving? Be honest.
Soaking old bone and ivory brushes creates cracks when the knot swells.

Not sure if you like boar bristle..? Some nice smaller ones to consider are the Semogue 620, and the Omega 10029 "Baby Pro", two of my favourites. Or, if you want to go really small, the Vulfix #2189 boar is super nice, but hard to find nowadays, I think it went out of production.
If you are looking for badger in the Shavemac and Simpson price range, you could also consider a THÄTER. I believe smallest knot is their "00" size, like the 4125/00, which is one of my favourite smaller badgers. If you are in Europe, they are available here:

Yup. Ive got one and its a great little brush. I use it for travel and its great for that because its small and easy to pack and because its synthetic, it dries very quickly.This one in 22mm I asume?
If yes, does anyone have a feedback on it?
Thankfully I can source it locally

@Dave-the-rave how's the T1 scoring?
It's the only brush in a while that has caught my attention.
I think big brushes are just a gimmick and a sign of some kind of prestige. The same as purchasing a £300 razor that performs the same as a £30 one. Prestige and eliteis has crept into the wet shaving world i find.....Γιώργο, I too prefer relatively small brushes. My ideal knot is the 24mm.
All my brushes have knots between 20mm and 24mm with the exception of one. My largest brush is the Razorock Monster which has a 26mm Plissoft knot and it's on the edge of being too inconvenient. I wish I had bought a smaller one. Rookie mistake.
I can't for the life of me understand how some are using brushes with larger knots that this. Their faces can't be that much bigger than mine. I can't imagine using brushes with 28-30mm or even larger knots.
Maneuverability and convenience are very important to me.
I'm a bowl-latherer and most scuttles and bowls are made for smaller brushes. I have the large scuttle of Steve Woodhead and the 26mm knotted Plissoft is a bit too much. Imagine using a 30mm one. No way this scuttle could handle it.
