I am already a fan of Shavemac brushes. If you are looking for a quality long handled brush (but not too long) so that your fingers don't always get covered in soap, I highly recommend the Shavemac 436/437/438 (white, tortoise or black handle). Knotsize 26mm, total height 131mm, handle 70mm and loft length 61mm. I got the option of the D01 higher quality badger. Overall a great brush especially if you like a firmer brush.
