    Default New Rhodium brush

    I asked Srdjan from Rhodium brushes to make me a soap slayer.
    He came up with this one, Honduran rosewood, 31mm silvertip badger.
    Here head to head against a CH3 Manchurian.

    Name of Srdjan's company. He hand ties the knots. The handles now are engraved with the company name.
    Nothing like getting a brush from a good friend.

    The chubby 3 is a very large and dense brush. As nice as your brush is (and I'm not trying to dis it) you can have too much of a good thing. I've found really large dense brushes are lather hogs and actually produce more lather than needed.

    Of course years ago I thought they were the cats meow and I still have a couple but rarely use them.

    All my humble opinion of course.

    Yes please show us your brushes and tell everyone you make them. Folks can PM you if they like ... but don't link your site or you will find yourself on the wrong end of a ban my friend

    This is a very good point. Big brushes are fun to use, but I find they take a bit more time to create lather (and obviously need more product), whereas the small ones start releasing a lot more quickly.

    While no knot of mine is a lather hog (this I control with loft), these large ones produce massive amounts of lather. I find myself reaching for 24-26mm on most days... In reality, 24s more than anything else. One thing to keep in mind is, they are a lot more dense than most, so in reality they are still bigger than most 26s.
