Cheers @nav1, I like the Duke II Best size and feel it is one of the most balanced badgers with a bit of scritch. How does the Commodore compare? I thought the knot may be too small
The Commodore is just a tad less dense than Duke 2, but has no issue holding creamy lather for a full 4 passes.
I actually prefer this size knot for badger brushes but larger for synthetics.
