Very nice

How have you found the 22mm Silvertip Grade A set at the loft height (54mm) you chose?

Take a look at the first thread in the post and you will see how I worked it and the balance issue out.

That looks great! Congrats.

Thanks for the update. Quality work in that brush that will serve you well.

Hi

Do you mean this thread?

If yes, I don't see where you talk about your actual experience (thoughts) of the 22mm Silvertip Grade A set at the chosen loft height (54mm). Please correct me if I'm wrong on this.

Take care, Mike

From the thread.
"I chose a 22 mm Silvertip knot which had a loft of 61 mm from the base of the knot. I took the handle and drilled down some more to provide room for two nickels for ballast and to reduce the loft down to reduce the potential for floppiness."

I drilled down the handle internally to insert two nickels and clear an additional 7 mm to reduce the overall loft down from 61 mm (in its received form) to 54 mm at final measurement when inside the handle.

I have been using this for a week and it has no floppiness. Strong lather builder and soft to the touch.

I hope this helps.

GD, wow, that brush looks fantastic!

Take care, Mike
