Knots under 30mm are considered small for me. 30mm is the lower limit for the knot.
I am also interested in the length of the brush, something that can reach close to the Masterpiece of boar brushes, the famous Omega 48.
Is there a silvertip or a badger in general at this high levels ?
My question would be why do you want so large a brush? I've used 30mm knots and found them too big. They are sloppy and use too much lather.
To my knowledge Vulfix makes a humongous brush a model 40 or 41 I think. As I recall it's silvertip but I don't recall the price. Most of the custom makers use generic chinese knots so they all tend to be smaller ones.
Thank you thebigspendur. I am using daily the huge omega brushes, Omega 48 and Omega 102 and I am used to these sizes. Every smaller brush seems to me childish. Moreover, my face is big and large brushes fit me well.
I will search for this Vulfix 40-41 model. Thank you.
I see that Vulfix #40 has a knot of 30mm, and the Vulfix #41 a knot of 26. So they are both small brushes.
Vulfix No. 40 and 41
Is there any other brush with a knot over 30mm?
Yes, you can get them bigger than that.
This is one I have, it is a Vulfix with a 38mm knot. You can see it below together with a 22mm PJ2 from Simpson.

Where did you find this Birnando?
Where can I buy it?
It is called the Vulfix #38 and can be found here. Sadly, it is back-ordered right now, but I'm sure they will get it back in.
I make alot of 30s,set at 50mm loft they are the quentisential face lathering brush bar none.
TGN sells 30mm grade A badgers,a wonderfull knot.
Where can i see them pixelfixed? Is there a website with photos of these brushes?
No website,all my stuff is one off custom made to order.

TGN, that pixelfixed mentioned, is the golden nib. However, pixelfixed's handiwork looks excellent.Quote:

It is beautiful, but I find the brush very small for my needs.
Which is the biggest knot (diameter at the knot and length of the hair) that you can find?
slur,
The Kent BK12 & BLK12 have 32 mm knots IIRC :
Kent Brushes - The World's Finest Brushes - Est 1777 - Shaving brushes
Have fun !

Thank you Phatman.
I think you mean that the BLK has a 32mm knot.
I liked it a lot in the photo and I am thinking of ordering it.
That would be my 700gm,3 pass whole body shave boar,55mm knot set at 85mm loft:)Quote:
