You mean like this, Clive? I certainly enjoy mine! On a more practical note, I have heard it rumored that Simpsons won't fill any such orders for custom brushes until after the holiday rush passes.

I could see me liking that, depending on how big the Tulip 3 handle is. I have liked that handle look, that and the beehive

Sam, the diameter on the T3 handle exceeds the Chubby 3. It is 50.5mm. It is very grippable with my medium size hands. And the indented ring on the top of the handle really helps keep the handle from getting slippery with dripping lather.

I understand how you want to stick with what works (the knot on my Polo 8 two-band was glorious) so will be curious to see if Mark can set you up. Good luck.

I think Mark likes you, Clive, so he should set you up just right. :) I should ask him sometime about a 2-banded Grosvenor, but I'm afraid of the answer.
