Wim, I see what you're saying about looking proportional. I will keep that in mind, thanks.
I have a 22mm Whipped Dog Silvertip knot headed my way for this 53mm tall black/butterscotch handle. I only face lather with soap so with that in mind, what would you guys who have owned this exact knot set the loft at? I don't want the breach to open up a whole bunch when lathering. I was thinking 44mm would be the lowest, let me know. Thanks in advance.
I have a 22mm Whipped Dog silver tip set at 50mm and I would say it splays almost too much on my face. If I had to do it over again I would set it closer to 45mm and give it some backbone. I think either way you will be terribly happy with that knot, I love mine.
I also think that what Wim said is a good suggestion in keeping the Berkely in mind.
+1, the knot might be a bit to floopy going over 47, 48 at most. I like them a little shorter45-47mm for me, that works fine for both face and bowl lathering IMO.
Nice job on both setting the knot and cleaning up the handle. Great looking brush!
