I ordered this knot on a whim. I don't mess much with badger because I have plenty of decent knots. It was a stinky one and I washed it out with a bit of Dawn. I don't know if this is the handle I'll use I just stuck it in for the pic. 22mm, 2 band SHD fan knot that's at about 47mm for loft. I think this is going to be a great knot. Sorry about the pic, too much reflection.
It's not a bulb, nor a flat top. Fan? The more I read about Two band, it seems what a boar brush lover like me might like. Extra density kind of has a Hot Rod high performance vibe. Looks great!
Yes a fan. I'll edit my post to include that. If I had to pick one brush it would be a homemade boar with a big Omega knot with a much manipulated knot and handle. I've done everything I can think of with that knot and I have a pretty good imagination.
My niece wanted the last brush for her boyfriend. This might be serious because everyone in the family gets an Uncle Steve brush. She's never asked for one before. So I made another for me, Maggard SHD 22mm fan. I lofted this one a bit lower 44mm. Pre bloom.
