Thanked: 443Knot size is probably the biggest factor. That's the diameter of the knot. There are tiny brushes but I don't know why, maybe for mustache care only. My knots are all between 3/4 and 1"; that seems to be the standard size.
If you're cost-conscious you'll probably avoid the super premium 3-banded silvertip knots.
You said earlier you wanted a longer handle. That's why I recommended the travel brush--it'll give you that, plus it's designed to travel should you decide to break it down and stow it in a bag. Here's a link to some travel brushes. As I said, I got the black aluminum Muhle but wish I'd gotten the nickel-plated brass, as much for the mass as for the looks.
Not all travel brushes will give you that length. Some are, in fact, very short-handled brushes in a matching case. Watch for the ones where the case becomes part of the handle. Dovo makes one similar to the Muhle, a bit nicer probably and a bit more expensive too.
If your town has a store that sells fancy soaps and stuff, or a dedicated knife store, they might have brushes off the shelf, too.
Good luck with your shopping."These aren't the droids you're looking for." "These aren't the droids we're looking for." "He can go about his business." "You can go about your business."
