Peter, I'm sadly lacking in brush knowledge. I confess I can't decipher your code, TH,HH, etc. I can't figure out how large that big Rooney is.drP wrote:Here are the specs Sam:Sam wrote:Peter what size is that large Beehive? One might consider an XL Shavemac brush, which is 30mm knot I believe and just decadent on the face.
TH 22 cm
HH 11,3 cm
LH 10,7 cm
KD 60 mm
weight 972 gr.
Quite a behemoth if i may so..
Gil, once upon a time I was on a mission to get a big Thater, and I am here to report that nowhere to be found is a comprehensive listing of available Thater sizes and specifications, and even retail sources. For that reason, I was sadly disappointed when it became evident that Thater was an impossible source for a big brush. Edit: I must say clearly that I did inquire through a well known vendor about what Thater offered in large brushes, and I never did receive a clear response.gil3591 wrote:i'm with chris on this one. a chubby is too dense. you want a thater! best knot and hair i ever experienced. after that,, a big knotted savile.Thalay Sagar wrote:I'll second a big Vulfix or a Shavemac/Saville Row.

Good suggestion on the Saville Row big brushes from QED. Those are still on my radar, at a price of around $200 or more, quite a reach.
I recently came into possession of a Shavemac 220, quite unintentionally. That brush seems to be just about perfect, and yes, it's still offered through Shavemac. If one is looking for a big well-made brush at a fair price, check out the Shavemac 220.nelson wrote:I'm not a brush expert by any stretch of the imagination, but I do own and enjoy using occasionally a Shavemac 220 with a 28 mm knot and sivertip badger hair (as defined by Shavemac). I bought that rascal back in the day when Shavemac was commisioned to design and supply the first SMF brush. It's still available from Shavemac. Once fully loaded with water and cream it can service an army. What appears to be the same brush is also available from qedusa as the Savile Row 3128. One advantage of ordering from Charles at qedusa is that you don't have to worry about the brush clearing Customs. Charles has taken care of that potential headache for you.
In general, if you want a genuinely large brush with pretty high grade badger hair at a tolerable price, I think your best bets are from Shavemac and Savile Row.

I see you've got them listed now at B&B. GLWTSShyrlock wrote:I have a nice Shavemac 227 30mm. It's a superb brush but I just don't use it that much. I am thinking about putting it on the martket, but I am not in a hurry.
