    Default Need some TOBS brush info

    I have ben looking at the Taylors of Old Bond Street brushes s374 and s377 and although the 377 is bigger the info I've found says the knot is smaller( I think 23 compared to 33 for the s374) and I couldn't find loft info at all. If anyone has info on these brushes it would be much appreciated. Thanks Ed

    Don't know anything about the new stuff, but I rescued 2 TOBS brushes from an antique store shelf 3 years, both brushes older than us,,, cleaned them up & they are great.

    I'd honestly go with a smaller knot...unless bigger knots are set deeper to be like a chubby, they're too big IMO. They are lather hogs!
    I went from a 24 down to a 20 because of this, but YMMV.
    With that being said, if I was getting one of these brushes I'd get the 374. If you want more specs on the brushes, shoot them an email.
