Medium Brush Owners Club: MBOC

[awk_m4]

Hi everyone!

Welcome to the Medium Brush Owners Club!! This little spot here at B&B is for those that enjoy their medium shaving brushes. The currently accepted guideline: Thank you @Rudy Vey is for those brushes that have a maximum knot diameter of 27mm. Please refer to the link below for the details.

Tiny Brush Owners Club: TBOC​

What is the size cut-off for Tiny Brushes (Why did I just hear Don Ho singing? )? 21mm? 20mm? 19MM? Unfortunately @rockero, the OP, hasn't been seen since October 2019. In his absence I would suggest an ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM of 20mm. But I'd like the other TBOC members to chip in so...

I've used and enjoyed brushes of all types and sizes. My favorites are the smaller variety. I currently have one brush that meet this clubs criteria:
Omega 10005 24mm

Daily SOTD, commentary and discussion is most welcome.

NO, NO, NO!

Let's stick to Rudy's guidelines. So the MAXIMUM Tiny Brush Knot size is 17mm.

Agree! 19mm and 20mm brushes are not tiny brushes.
But why aren't we talking medium brushes as the thread title suggests?
Plus we've also got the small brush club ... head explodes.

I will gladly join this group. My preferred size for badger is 26mm & for boar it's 24 - 27mm. Today, I had the pleasure of using a handle created by Rudy set with an Omega Premium Jade knot, which is 27mm.

Used a 27mm Zenith unbleached boar that @Rudy Vey set in this handle he made for me. It is a wonderful brush to use.

Today I used another 27mm boar that Rudy Vey made for me, using the knot from an Omega Premium Jade. I call it my Rudy Vey Premium Jade.
