    As I said love the handle, But I question setting a knot to 20 mm I like face lathering myself and I haven't dropped down any farther than 46mm and that's pretty stiff for me.. Tc

    20mm deep hole should leave it with a 44mm loft. I have another brush with a two band finest set at 45mm and its my favorite brush.

    Very nice looking handle!
    I love the look to it.
    I can't wait to see the finished brush.

    Is it over there or over yonder?

    That's a lovely handle. I really like it.

    With the lead shot in the bottom, how does it feel compared with for e.g. a Chubby 2

    I actually have not been fortunate enough to have/use a Chubby 2. It doesn't make it heavy by any means. I LOVE wood brushes, but wood is very light. This makes it where it balances it out more. Brings it up more to the weight of a larger acrylic handle. I don't currently have a scale, but maybe once I get a knot in it I can run to the post office and get a weight.
