I saw on a Facebook group that Larry had made some custom boar brushes for one of his clients as an experiment. I emailed Larry (last week) and he said he had some knots left and he could sell me one.
So, ladies and gentleman, here is a Whipped Dog 30mm boar knot in an ivory resin handle.

To the left is a Whipped Dog 24mm SilverTip and to the right is an Omega 10066.
The brush has a 30mm knot and around a 53mm loft.
Upon first opening, the brush felt like it was going to be super spring and stiff. However, soaking it made it extremely soft and pliable. It has great backbone but also a nice spread.

This is a pic of a lather I made with Mike's barbershop. I loaded for about 8 seconds and hand lathered. There was a TON more lather than what is shown in the pic. This thing literally exploded when I began lathering. Not only did it load quickly, but it worked up a lather really quickly.
However, I really underestimated the amount of water in the brush and the lather was super watery--it was flying everywhere (like into the sink, which is why there's less on the brush than it actually produced). More product or less water would have helped that. But with a 30mm knot, there was a lot more water than in the 10066.
Overall, this brush seems to be great quality that you'd expect from WD. It felt really great lathering on the hand, and I can't wait to test it out on the face.

Post lather, WD on bottom.
(I am only affiliated to WD as a consumer. I do not know if Larry will be making more of these in the future or if there will be more custom runs of them. And no, you can't have mine. :] )
