Ok, gents. So I can only post one question with 12 options. That means that I will be combining questions into a few polls.
For this poll, I am asking the desired manufacturer, and knot size.
Now, due to the poll constraints, some of these options imply multiple choices. We will flesh those out in other polls. For example, if a large percentage (>15%, i think) choose 'KNOT SIZE: Bigger than 26 mm or smaller than 22mm', then we will follow it up with a poll of the choices found in the comments.
The other two polls:
Poll #2: Handle Style, Handle Color
Poll #3: Loft Height, Hair Grade, Price
Edit: Notice that the poll will end on Sunday

i think having a ridiculously large sized boar knot could be fun. how about something along the lines of a chubby 3 in boar?
three people can keep a secret if two of them are dead.

Selected other for Mfg only because I have no preference on that point.
Looking forward to seeing the final results and the price point.

Yeah, you think that would be better than trying to keep it to just 3 thread for now? I'm making the 3rd one right now with Loft Height, Hair Grade and Price. Would you gents prefer that I break that up, or keep it the way it is now? Unfortunately, I can't edit the polls after the fact...

Its probly best to leave at 3 for now as spliting it up into more threads might make it to hard to keep track of.

I would go for that. I like big brushes and boars won't splay as much as soft badgers Originally Posted by bradyarz

Omega is really picking up some votes, gents! Semogue might not be the clear winner that I thought it would be!

Dangerous stuff but hey, it's only a vote, right? It's not like I'm buying anything... yet.

I'll pretend I didn't read that. Originally Posted by HokieGeek
