Right now, I'm using an Omega boar bristle brush. Holding a ruler against it, I'd say it's bout a 22mm knot. Eventually, I'd like to upgrade to a badger brush. So now I'd like some input on what others like in a brush.
I mostly use soaps, so what's at good knot size and loft to look for?
I'm thinking that the bigger the brush, the more water it will hold, which may or may not be a good thing. So whats a good compromise size?
I'd particularly like to hear from soap users and what they have to say about there brushes (too big? too small? needs more loft? needs less loft?) and what they think would be just right.
Also, which shape is prefered for soaps? (lightbulb vs fan)
