    Default Where can I find an XXL silvertip brush in logical prices?

    Knots under 30mm are considered small for me. 30mm is the lower limit for the knot.
    I am also interested in the length of the brush, something that can reach close to the Masterpiece of boar brushes, the famous Omega 48.

    Is there a silvertip or a badger in general at this high levels ?

    My question would be why do you want so large a brush? I've used 30mm knots and found them too big. They are sloppy and use too much lather.

    To my knowledge Vulfix makes a humongous brush a model 40 or 41 I think. As I recall it's silvertip but I don't recall the price. Most of the custom makers use generic chinese knots so they all tend to be smaller ones.

    Thank you thebigspendur. I am using daily the huge omega brushes, Omega 48 and Omega 102 and I am used to these sizes. Every smaller brush seems to me childish. Moreover, my face is big and large brushes fit me well.

    I will search for this Vulfix 40-41 model. Thank you.

    I see that Vulfix #40 has a knot of 30mm, and the Vulfix #41 a knot of 26. So they are both small brushes.
    Vulfix No. 40 and 41

    Is there any other brush with a knot over 30mm?

    Default Big Brush!

    Yes, you can get them bigger than that.

    This is one I have, it is a Vulfix with a 38mm knot. You can see it below together with a 22mm PJ2 from Simpson.

    It is called the Vulfix #38 and can be found here. Sadly, it is back-ordered right now, but I'm sure they will get it back in.
