Where have all the Tiny Brush lovers gone?

[Cal]

... Or do most people only love medium to monster size brushes?

L to R: Omega Mixed Midget, Mighty Midget, and Bigger Bambino.

I've just joined the Tiny Brush Owners Club, but the thread is a bit like a ghost town at the moment. I know my fellow BOSCer @ZigZiglar has an Omega Mixed Midget like the one on the left in the pic above. Hey Zig, where are you?

C'mon all you guys that have a tiny brush in your den (Wee Scots come to mind), let's bring a little life back to the TBOC.

Will YOU be joining us there? Let's know why, or why not, please.

Is this brush tiny enough

?

I fell into Huge brushes so I guess I’m not in.

You could actually fall into that thing! Obviously small brushes are much safer.

Maybe they all defected to the "21 and under" club: Maybe it's time for a "21 and under" club?
I had never heard of TBOC before now.

I had never heard of TBOC.

And I'd never heard of the "21 and under" club (which is two years older than TBOC). It's amazing how (apparently most) threads in the Clubs and Brotherhoods sub-forum appear to be a mystery to most members (including me).

Mind you, I'm glad we don't have qualifying knot sizes in the TBOC. My Mighty Midget has a 24mm knot although it only stands 86mm high.

How big is tiny brush?

 

[John Rose]

They should both be listed on Clubs and Brotherhoods and probably on Abbreviations , but are not.

TBOC is in the ShaveWiki Abbreviations.

I would say no more than 21 mm. Maybe even 20.
I have a Simpson Special 1 with a 20 mm knot, and that feels like a "mid-sized" brush to me.

Something like the Omega 10049 with the 26 mm knot seems clownishly large.

As a rough idea, my TBOC qualifying brushes (shown in the OP above) are 76mm, 86mm, and 89mm high respectively. But the easiest thing to do is post your brush (with details) on the thread and a member will let you know if it qualifies or not.

I have a 19mm brush that I rarely use. I also have my vintage Hoffritz that is 20 mm and is fine.

Well, that's a start.

As per post #5 above, my Mighty Midget qualifies for TBOC and has a 24mm knot. Obvioiusly brushes can be small in different ways.

Have the Omega mixed midget + the Omega bigger Bambino. Have just two shaves in with the latter, but not liking it much.

 

[BigJ]

My Wee Scot is definitely in the rotation (and also my travel brush)!

 

[Voere]

I have a couple small brushes. From time to time I use the brush on the right.

 

[G.W.]

Maybe they're taking a little break?

Wow! That one looks cute.

What make, model, and approximate dimensions is it please?

Veni, vidi, stupor adprehendit me!
