24mm is biggest i go. Silvertips feel alot bigger than the 2-bands, but I find myself going for 20-22mm lately as my sweet spot.
Please keep us posted - I am really interested in this brushWell, here she is 35mm of two band glory. My first Thater brush. Not as big as imagined. I’ll clean her up with some Dr Bonners Almond soap and put her through the paces for my evening shave.View attachment 1231449
It’s probably the finest face lathering brush I’ve ever used. It would be more suited for soft soaps or creams. Although it has enough backbone to generate some foam on hard soaps as well. But I would not use it for that purpose. It’s mostly a wide brush versus tall. It’s very similar to when I owned a Chubby 3 Simpsons but I did not have The Manchurian 2 band knot. Although I would imagine they’re very similar do to size. I really enjoy this Bulb knot versus a fan knot. I hope this helps make your choice more Decisive.Please keep us posted - I am really interested in this brush
My newest brush is my largest. Stirling 24 x 50 finest badger fan. It seems a lot bigger than 24 mm.,
probably because it's a fan knot. First shave with it earlier tonight ---- see my thread about it.
