Yea, that is the measurement for loft, handle to tip. It's just that a 66mm loft seemed kind of high for a 24mm synthetic knot to have a lot of backbone. The synthetics I have had made have been around 48/50mm loft for a 24mm knot for face lathering.

I was quoting what is listed on the website. When I get home I'll measure it and let you know.

Ok, looked at his web site and 66mm is the OAL of the knot before setting into the handle. Normally he bores the handles 10mm deep so the standard loft for his 24mm synthetic would be about 56mm. So your loft is likely around 53mm then.

Sorry about the back and forth on the loft measurements but I just wanted to make sure we were talking about loft and not the AOL of the knot before setting.
