Wow I love seeing that brush when it comes its turn, it is beautiful. What size knot is it and what is the loft set at please? I am thinking of buying a knot from shavemac and setting it in a handle I already have. I am either going to get 2band silvertip or a unique.
Happy shaves

Thank you for your kind words.  Shy

The knot is a Shavemac D01 2-Band as stated in my SOTD post and the knot size is 34 x 60 mm; extremely dense, but a very nice scrub. 
If I were you, I would go with the unique 2-Band as they are a denser version of the Silvertip 2-Band unless you don't like dense knots.

Thank you sir. That is a big brush. The unique does sound good, I like dense knots but not too scrubby.
