Couple of questions - why the BK4 as opposed to the larger variants?
How do you compare the BK4 to the BK2?
The handle alone makes want to buy one of these brushes!
Great review.
My first post on B&B raises the question of a source for Kent brushes. Ordering directly from Kent seems to be a reasonable option. Does anyone recommend a US alternative, at least in terms of price?
I think the US distributor keeps the prices jacked high. I've never heard of a reasonably priced US source.
Even better than Kent - I've used Auravita before and they're quite good.

The shipping for a brush is quite reasonable (6 - 7 pounds) and, in addition to the great price on the brushes, if you're outside of the EC, you get to take the VAT off the price as well (17.5%). While you're at it, you can toss in a shave stick or two, or a puck of Kent soap (same as MWF) for not much more shipping.
Happy shopping!

Going back through this. Looking at picking up the bk4. Is this knot a 22mm or 24mm? Loft?
