    Too big? No. But you will go through a lot of soap, and you will be washing a lot of unused lather down the drain.

    Now, if you shave your legs, armpits, genitals, head, and face, it's probably the perfect size for you.

    The biggest brush I own is 27mm, and that's pushing the end of the usability spectrum, in my opinion. Most people are happy with a 22-24mm brush.

    Tyler, I hope you realize I'm not picking on you. ... That just one heck of a big brush. I've washed truck parts with smaller brushes.

    I slung a lot of paint on destroyers in the Navy with a sash tool...

    Hard to tell from the photo, but the diameter is probably about 25mm. What I'm saying here is that 40mm would be more like aircraft carrier size...

    I can't wait to see it. And find out how many grams of soap you use to load it.

    I'm probably not awake enough yet, but my first thought is to ask what the proper size brush is for back shaving.

    Foam is too thick. Not enough water so there won't be any slickness. Razorburn waiting to happen, fer sher.

    So if your interested I even got you the site for them ...

    or

    They average about 8.5' in diameter and 3" deep, so you'll need to press in 4 or 5 pucks of Stirling shave soap so you can get a proper lather.

    Don't worry @Tylervanstone, I'll get you all set up ... I like to help where I can. :happy097::happy102::rofl:

    You laugh, but that would be the size I was thinking he will need!

    @Tylervanstone - Who is making it for you? Are you going with a Chubby style handle, or something tall?

    I'm still wondering if he mistook the loft height for diameter.
