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.

Dreadnought eh? Does it have guns and armor plating?

Until I read this thread, I had forgotten all about mine. I bought a 23mm Kenya Soapstone Silvertip with a 55mm loft around a year ago. Lovely handle, but I found the loft just that little too high for my ideal brush with triple-milled soaps, so stopped using it after a couple of months. 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? Originally Posted by Optometrist

It is a fairly heavy brush but that in no way interferes with its function. My main worry when I used it was not to knock it over on to the floor. Originally Posted by ShropshireShaver

I bet. I like the taller lofts makes for good bowl lathers. The Dreadnought is a big brush also.

I'm a total face lather and that is where this brush is a little too floppy for my liking. Originally Posted by ShropshireShaver
