After reading about the short lofts on the Simpson synthetic being less than ideal for many users, I am looking into having Rudy Vey make a brush for me using a 25mm Muhle V2 knot as I have read he has these available. If the Simpson testers felt 54 was a good height for the chubby, would that work well for the less dense Muhle knot?
If I order one, I might have Rudy just drill the hole and do my own experimenting on loft height until I get it to where I feel it is just right for me.

I've been through this issue. I wanted a 25mm Muhle synthetic knot but didn't like the high loft on the factory brushes. I had Rudy set one at a 55mm loft in one of his R7 handles, and the result is the beautiful brush on the left:

This brush performs well at everything - face or bowl lathering, creams or soaps. By the way, the Simpson Chubby 2 synthetic also performs great, but it's a totally different brush.
