    I really like the handle and colour, I'm finding lately that I really enjoy the longer handled brushes, especially if you want to create a nice warm lather in the scuttle.
    The knot is a DO1 2 band fan shape. With my cheapo digital micrometer and mediocre skills the knot measures about 28mm with about a 50mm loft.

    Just used it and it will hold a lot of soap, lather it like a good thing, no hog, with soft tips and great backbone. I think we have the makings of a winner here. Got it hanging to dry and bloom right now. I suspect it will not bloom as much as the Rooney Victorian which has a smaller knot and higher lot.

    What a wonderful brush. I've ordered a half dozen brushes and knots from him this year, and his service is always outstanding. Congratulations.

    Just had an email from Bernd Blos to clarify which knot I had in my brush. It is the 2 band Silvertip not the DO1 Silvertip 2 band I had initially thought it was. Sorry for any confusion.
