Thanked: 2284Biggest they could fit in! Which would be a 22mm. Small hole for such a big handle, but I do like smaller sized brushes. 24mm is the biggest I'd buy anymore. As for Loft, they're the experts and know those knots best, so I told him to put it at whatever he thought would be appropriate.

Thanked: 3226Just saw the photo of your refurbed brush. Man, they did a nice job. Then looking more closely at I though that it looked a bit familiar so I went and checked. Seems like I have a similar brush but the next size down, 105, having an 18mm pure badger knot. Sans sticker of course. Now I have a better idea of the make, thanks.

Thanked: 2284Bob, now I know where I had seen this handle before. You!
Wonder how many sizes there was for this model, and if it had a specific name. Cool that your hair is still in great shape. Ever think about getting a sticker for it?

Thanked: 3226Seems Simpsons traditionally runs 3 different sizes in series of brushes so maybe 3? They generally do name their brushes also. Possibly Mark at Simpsons could answer those questions.
Yes, I suppose it is unusual that the knot is still in decent shape given how long it has been kicking around. It does shed the odd hairs too but given it's age not too unexpected. I was thinking of hogging the hole out and putting in a larger Shavemac 2 band silvertip knot though. Not considered getting a new sticker either.

If anyone wants a new sticker id love to go in on one too. 1 pound for sticker, 5 pounds for shipping. So if you want one andvwant to splits costs lets me know. If we could get two or 3 in one shippment sure would help the cost. Not that its really a lot of money. I just hate to spend 5 times the amount on shipping than the cost of the item.
It's just Sharpening, right?
