Oh, oh very nice fine sir. Very nice indeed one must say, and I do. (y)

Update on the 20mm Master Badger brush. I set the knot @ 47mm which went well except for the dreaded excess glue above the handle @58RW :)
To assist with estimating my ideal loft I had lathered the knot to get some idea of bloom. Thank you @bald as this was a very helpful suggestion. @nav1 also warned against setting too deep which I very nearly went to 46mm loft after seeing the initial bloom pre setting. That one millimetre makes a surprising amount of difference.
Once set I thought maybe I had set too deep just looking at the shape of the knot post setting (first image).
I used the brush today and it was brilliant.

Right amount of backbone and good flowthrough. Face feel is luxurious. Very happy with how this project turned out. I think this brush is going to be a very welcome addition to the brush family.

Fantastic!!
Does the knot have any scritch or is it very soft on the face?

I think I'll use my 18mm finest soon, it doesn't see much use at all.
 
I've resisted buying either of the APR releases.

I actually think that this deserves a special banner @Monsta_AU - or at least the removal of my old Sabbatical Fail one - this is GREAT restraint!
