Larger handle & stiffer than SR3118

I'm considering purchasing a badger brush to compliment my SR3118. For those of you who have experience with the little 3118, I'd like a larger handle (diameter and length) and perhaps a bit stiffer bristles. Head could be a bit larger but not huge.

Under a $100.

Any suggestions?


Cheers,
Peter

maybe a Rooney 3/1

And keep in mind that the 3/1 from Vintage Blades has 50mm hair; the 3/1 from Classic Shaving has 55mm hair. I opted for the former.
(Never got a 3118, 'cause I suspected that I wouldn't be happy with a brush handle quite that small.)

I find my SR3118's handle is too small to comfortably hold and because it's a short handle, lather can spread onto the handle when I'm using it, which I then have to rinse off.
