That brush is stunning @Gargravarr

And any advice would be welcome

Not so much advice as a suggestion: you could try a Minora in the BB. Edge-to-edge is slightly narrower than many other blades, and it's quite thin, so in theory you should get a bit less exposure with this buttery-smooth blade.

Well, all you have to do is get in contact with @TroyTools and ask him to make you one. Hopefully not too similar to mine, but there's no copyright on it.
