Scipio,

If you're referring to a 2 inch difference in brush diameter, you are correct. That 2 inches doesn't make a lot of difference.

For starters, I'd look for a silvertip that can be used with both soaps and creams. The Simpsons (Chubby 1 or 2) is an obvious choice, although I have a Rooney brush (small) that is just as versatile. Vulfix may also make a brush that suits your tastes and is of reasonably good quality.

Take a look at the shaving brushes on Vintage Blades. That website contains lots of useful information about the height (loft) and diameter as well as a discussion of the compatibility of some brushes with soaps and/or creams.
