I've got a lovely Rod Neep in Kingfisher Burl with a 28mm knot and a loft of about 55mm in his extra silvertip. It's a fantastic face lathering brush. The craftsmanship is superb and I love the size of the brush. I'm very happy with it. Just be prepared to wait for it to be made.

I had put it away and not looked at it until today. Anyhow, here is my retired brush.
Very nice. Does the stone make it quite heavy?Quote:

I'm a total face lather and that is where this brush is a little too floppy for my liking.Quote:
