26 is cool for me too, long as the bristles are still packed dense and firm.

I think 26 is big enough. The SR230 I have now is a 26 and is plenty big and I can't see the need for anything bigger.

Since everyone is saying 26mm i voted for 26mm as well; i havent tried 26 or 28 so i have nothing to compare against... But, as long as it is packed densly i dont mind. I currently use the cheapest brush that Charles has to offer ($25) and im not sure what its size is... But, its not very dense...
I'm hoping you guys are more experienced than i in this regard and am more than willing to trust your judgement

26mm here, too.
At a wide-blooming 26mm, my current brush is plenty large, so I'm definitley leaning away from 28mm.

26mm is my vote.
I already have a Shavemac Silvertip with a 25mm knot, and it is plenty big enough for me.

28 mm is my vote. I'm obviously in the minority.

26mm for me . . . I think 28 would be just too big for my face.

I voted for a 28mm. Other than for my traveling brush, it would be the smallest knot in my shaving kit.

I voted 26 but 28 would be fine. Thats the bonus of being a newb I'm happy with almost anything.

26 for me. My current is 20mm (Vulfix 2197), so anything bigger will feel like the utmost luxury. Why not go less expensive then?
