Smaller brush (no. 117/24): 120mm height, 60mm loft, 22mm knot
Larger brush (no. 2002): 145mm height, 70mm loft, 26mm knot

I don't know the sizes for the other models, but you might be able to estimate from the group pic on their webpage.

Nice looking brushes Adam! Are you a bowl or face latherer? They have quite a high/long loft does this make them floppy??

I have a huge omega boar (the 48) which I consider HUGE, it's really big. Anyhow, it has very long hair, yet it still seems perfect for face lathering. Boar brushes seem to have serious backbone to them, don't compare them to badger they seem very different to me.

Mines bigger than yours...

Uh-huh.

So I shot an email to the guys at shoeboxshaveshop about Jaguar brushes. This is the reply I got:

Hi Drew,
Never heard of them but will check them out.
Regards, Gary

Hopefully that means they will have at least some available in the near future on a trial basis, provided the Jaguar folks will let them. The only place I have seen them available so far is on Amazon through Derby International

Why wait...buy them from amazon! I think the most expensive is like 15 bucks

sorry 9.99 most expensive....I got the 1071 shown here in a thread on B&B: Jaguar boar brushes - Page 2 - Badger & Blade

I wouldn't call them floppy at all. Here's a little backbone test, for whatever it's worth. Definitely outperforms my superbadgers.

Awsome demo , thx man

Sorry Drew didn't read your whole post - guess you already mentioned amazon.
Any how, got my Jaguar delivered...it'll need some breaking in but I like already.

I'm definitely going to get one, but if shoebox gets some I can get it the same time I get my Omega travel brush. I also want to try out a Vulfix boar. So many brushes...
