I agree with the sentiment Audio but I don't know how it can be achieved, hopefully you can make your own mind up. When a brush has this sort of density married with a high loft you end up with so much splay you that you just lather your chops with mainly the stem of the hair knot and not the tips.
If that's what folks like then go for it and then print TSR on the base so you can't identify it. :roll:

Rev-O said:Maybe Tony could post the spec of his "dream team" brush (badger:boar ratio, density, loft, knot, handle).
Rev-O said:Those pictures seem to have put off some people. I can't really see what is worrying them so much. Isn't a badger supposed to be quite floppy? Not that it is particularly. I just think that there is no point in producing anything too expensive as it just won't sell. Plus I thought the 404 mix was very popular and this appears to be a more luxurious version.
I liked the brush a lot and would happily buy it and use it.
Not sure there'll ever be one perfect / ideal brush for everyone but this one was the best of the half-dozen or so brushes I have tried.

Hi gents,
I don't recall the height of the loft, but it's probably 55 mm - too tall. We can make it 50 mm, like the 1520/620, that would make it stiffer.
As for the handle, a wooden handle version of the 1305 seems nice to me too.
By the way, do you want TSR on the front or in the base of the handle?
Urban Hermit said:Perhaps, it might be more popular/favourable to go for a single model of "TSR" brush handle (all the same RE: size/style/material/colouration/etc) but, with 2 (or 3/4(?)) knot options: one for badger, one for boar (and/or a mixed boadger brush knot though the ratio will still be a point of conflict for discussion, I'd think) and/or one for synthetic knots.
... or is that impractical for the number of folks involved? I just wondered if people turned off (or un-interested) due to ratio and/or type of hair involved in making one boadger, might otherwise buy one (possibly both) models if they were separate brushes.
