I was a given a wonderful brush that unfortunately started shedding. I loved the knot too so I may buy another like it but I have been wanting a large 2Band for a while so after some careful measuring I realized I could shoehorn a TGN Finest 30mm in the handle so I set to work and now Knotzilla is born. She is larger than my Chubby2 and should be a real soap buster!
Knotzilla!

Looks nice Scott. Let us know how you like it once you use it a few times.

I will! I think its gonna bloom bigger than my Old Spice mug.
You might be surprised. I find my 2-bands bloom much less than other badger knots.
That brush is kinda like a hot-rod ~ jam the biggest engine/knot you can into the thing and let her rip.

Your right. I stuffed a big block in the grocery getter! 
Yeah I have noticed the same about smaller blooms with 2 bands. My Chubby2 blooms out much more than showing if I just flick and let it dry. Last use I gave it a squeeze after so its looking fit and trim. The 2 band I just flicked and let dry after some hand lathers. It has some funk I want out before using. I scrubbed it pretty good though so it should be in bloom.

They have them from 18mm-30mm I believe in 2mm jumps. Thank you for the kind words my friend,Scott Honestly I think when you go over 24 the grainyness of the hairs becomes more prominent. That does not mean scratchy though. Coarse would be another good word but prickly would not. : )
Ah, "back in the day" (8 months ago 
) they only had 24s. I have a rubberset aluminum handle waiting for a nice big knot so this may be the one. Thanks for the heads up on the face-feel Ill keep it in mind.

Your welcome. It does not feel bad but is not pillowy soft. Like the side of a straw broom I guess.
Very nicely done, Scott!
30mm TGN Finest is by far my favorite TGN knot!
Here compared with an STA 30 which has now changed residences a couple times
