Check out my new Simpsons 58 in best badger. The knot is approx. 24mm and the loft is approx. 50mm. It has a nice backbone but not too stiff. I bought it to replace my Simpsons Commodore x2 which is lighter and feels a little "cheaper". I shampooed it twice and made some lather with it, still has that funky smell. I'm going to use it for shaving creams. Here's a before pic and a comparison pic between the commodore and the 58 after I shampooed it.Attachment 112339Attachment 112340
