From the left; a Truefitt & Hill Simpson Chubby 3, a Kent H 12, what I am pretty sure is an old Rooney Persian Jar, an old Simpson #58

Yikes, that's a big brush! It seems unwieldy except for only the largest necks and faces (or perhaps for head shaving).

My C&E Super Badger -- which is a Edwin Jagger clearly branded item - is also huge, showing similar proportions to my Wee Scot 9 - a wonderful little latherer in its own right.

That Persian Jar is a beautiful thing!

Re: That's not a big brush, THIS is a big brush.
A big brush? How about this one on the left:
That's a Vulfix window display brush (the other two are Shavemacs for those who like long handles. The one in the middle has an XXL knot for size reference).

for a second or two i thought DrP was back in town!
Big brushes are nice to look at and nice to hold, and nice to sit back with a beer and imagine the lather, but they are not that great to use.

My vintage seventies #24 Plisson HMW set in plexi shown next to an ivory handled Chubby 3. You want a big brush? Accept no substitutes.

Ah, good old Portra 160 VC. The newer stuff's not bad, though. What? There was a brush in there somewhere?

Greetings Chris! I dearly miss the short-lived but truly wonderful Portra 25. (Insert heavy sigh here.)

This brush has always made me envious... superb!

Re: That's not a big brush, THIS is a big brush.
Buzz, I never even knew there was a Portra 25!
I have never really fancied color negative film. I have long been a shooter of color positive/transparency/slide film. What I have always liked about slide film is that what I got back from the lab reflected exactly what I did with the film in-camera. In the case of color negative film, I couldn't control the resulting print, since I didn't print it, myself.

Re: That's not a big brush, THIS is a big brush.
I've been off the radar some over the last few months, but here's some more big brush entertainment - a couple of Plissons dwarfing a tallish Simpson Chubby 3. The Plissons are almost large enough to wash my truck with...
jar, that's a nice curvaceous handle on that brush....beautiful.
Buzz, that's a great vintage Plisson you posted. I love the old Plisson font.
