I took advantage of the dollar and talked to Bernd Blos at Shavemac to customize one of his brushes. I got myself a 21mm silvertip knot with a 45mm loft, and it cost me $87.00 + $14.00 shipping

I figure this was in the ballpark of what I'm looking for since:
The Rooney style 1/small is a 22mm knot with a 48mm loft
The Simpson Chubby is a 21mm knot with a 47mm loft
The Simpson Case is a 19mm knot with a 40mm loft

Can't wait to get it

That custom Shavemac sounds great, I have a Rooney 1/1 in Super great soap brush that can be used with creams too...The Rooney has been a favorite for a while...

Just picked up a Simpson Chubby 1 in Super, I happen to like the way it looks, even better than it's looks is it's performance....a great soap brush for face lathering..

The Simpson Duke 2 is supposed to be a nice soap brush and the Duke 3 is like a Chubby 1 but with a longer handle...supposed to be a great brush for soaps and creams...

So far my Chubby 1 has lost 1 hair after several ( 3 ) uses seems to be ok so far..

Lot's of great choices out there though
