Brush of the day.

Hand-carved back in 2012 from a piece of ash the council removed to allow the Olympic procession through. Inspired by the many styles of Yankee-doodle barbershop brushes. On its second knot. Saw, axe, knife and absolutely no sandpaper.

What size knot is in the brush Graeme? Been thinking a little lately about what you've been saying recently about larger boar knots and whether larger boars would work better for me.

Thanks again

That’s a 26mm Cashmere. Honestly, if I was shaving everyday for office work as I once did, that particular knot creates too much lather. However, a boar of around those dimensions is essential for me.

I’m in a good mood today so if you send me your address, I’ll send you my 20102 to try. That’s a big ol’ piggy! (y)

That's super kind of you Graeme but I've literally just sent off my birthday list (which is only a couple of weeks away) to family and friends and the 20102 is on it! Mainly because of you so no pressure! ;) :)

I think it's a 28mm which was the heftiest I could find on Connaught. I've got another Zenith on there which is 26mm so fingers crossed for the Big Boar plan as it's now become known!

Cheers

Ps. Only just back from hols and literally unpacking but if you fancy a blast on the Bayonetta, I can bung that up for you to try out. Just gimme a chance to get settled back in.
