A 24mm knot set at a loft of 50mm well serve you well for any lathering technique.
You are very welcome, Alex.
Because of a hyper sensitive skin, I use only silvertip brushes with silky soft tips.
I've had the Simpson Chubby and sold it. The brush is great, but the handle is too short and the backbone a little too much.
For me, a silvertip with a medium dense brush and medium backbone works well.
You would never be able tell any diff between a 22/23/24,the key to any of those knots is proper loft.
50/52 will be fine.
Hand size should have a significant role in deciding what size handle to use. I have rather large hands; the dimutive handles found on brushes like the Semogue 610 and B&B Essential are OK but are far from my favorite. The Vulfix 2235/2236, Semogue 1305, SOC, and 1800, and for sure the Omega Pro 49 are great manly-sized grips which are fine for my application. I'm ordering a new bespoke brush which will retain the Classic L7 shape but measure in about 5mm larger than the original. Knot will be a 25mm Muhle STF set to about 50mm. Thinking this might just be the Swiss Army knife of all my brushes. That title is currently held by my Simpson Colonel X2L, a great all-purpose brush in its own right.
