    I bought a big 24mm maggard fan knot and its a nice knot. I did have a little epoxy seepage but I am still happy with it. I hope the pic is ok, I have never posted one from my phone before.

    Looks good.!

    Always hold your phone horizontally when taking a pic with your phone. Then it will come out right.

    I do like the fan shapes. I might have dropped it down a touch more if possible. But to each his own. As long as it has some backbone and flow. It looks good! What does the loft measure out to be?

    It was a 24mm Maggard fan knot. I probably should have tried using other handles and cheaper knots for a first go, but I found that handle and had to jump at it. I am not one for delayed gratification.

    So is that a Rubberset handle?
    There are a lot of knock offs these days.
    The new knot looks good in it. Figuring out your favourite loft can be a rabbit hole that leads you to many brushes.

    Nice job.. I want one of those style handles but the only ones I can find are plastic which would be okay but they all seem rather expensive.....

    Is that the SHD version of their badger knots? I think you did just fine with the handle and the knot combo.

    Looks great-I love the 24mm Maggards SHD knot. It's my favorite brush!
    There are many roads to sharp.
