I was curious as to how the knots from these 2 brush manufacturers compare, so I ordered a 30mm from each and here they are as delivered and unwashed.
SWMBO rates the WD as being softer and so do I. The TGN is whiter.
Loft: TGN=66, WD=67
Knot measured: TGN=30, WD=29
Diameter: TGN=55, WD=60
Weight: TGN=26gm, WD=33gm
$$$$$$: TGN=$42.95, WD=$19.50
I plan to give them each about 5 washes and re measure them. I have never tried soaping them up without them being in a handle so I am not so sure how that will work, but nothing ventured, etc.
Are there any suggestions as to what else I could try ?
I don't really have a handle large enough to hold them though I reckon I could fake one for these tests, maybe different lofts starting at 54.
Thanks Ken for a good beginning loft number.
