If you had three brushes for the rest of your life

[SoapHoarder]

Suppose you were only able to keep three brushes for the rest of your life. What would those three brushes be?

I'd personally take one boar, one badger, and one synthetic.

Boar: Omega Pro 48

Badger: Yaqi 24mm 2-Band

Synthetic: Razorock BC Silvertip

Honorable mention goes to the Yaqi Sagrada Familia Tuxedo, it's such a good travel brush that I use it at home.

Assuming that I didn't immediately lose the little bit of mind I have left at the mention of such a dastardly reduction in brushes:

Muhle STF synthetic
SOC 2 band badger w/cherry handle
SOC TSN LE boar

I have 4 brushes I could use forever.. Three of them are the same brush with different handles and crowns: SV 2.0 Manchurian badgers

The second model brush would be the Zenith Manchurian badger with a 506 copper handle.

Those two types of brushes are all I use.... unless it's DecemBOAR month. Then I use 4 Zenith boar brushes.

I pretty much use Yaqi brushes and some Razorock 24mm Plissoft synthetic brushes.

1- Yaqi "Club casino" 26mm Timber wolf knot synthetic. I enjoy24-26mm synthetic knots
2- Yaqi " Mountain lake" 24mm 2band badger.
3- Yaqi " mysterious space" 24mm (3band) silver tip badger.
These seem to work well for my shaving needs.

Very nice.

 

[Mr. Shavington]

My three would be:

Plisson size 14 HMW badger
Zenith 502 boar
Wald A1 synthetic

Why can’t I have four so I also have a horse brush? I’d have a Zenith XS horse, 502 shape again.

If I can have variety I would pick a Simpson T3, an Omega Roma and a Razorock Plissoft 400.

If I would base it purely on performance for the rest of my life I would get the Razorock 400 in silver, red and yellow.

I would go with two badgers and a boar.

Simpson two band CH3

Rooney Heritage two band 3XL

Semogue 1305

Tough decision, but I'll choose...

Simpson, Duke 3 - 2 Band Silvertip Badger
Simpson, Duke 2 - Best Badger
Simpson, Chubby 2 - Platinum Synthetic

One boar
One synth
One mixed badger/boar

From my current stable, that would look like:

Connaught Omega Jade
Razorock Plissoft
Semogue Mistura

 

[Scrubby]

So…. I hate the idea of limiting myself to only 3 brushes, but when I really have to make a choice the 3 I would keep it would be:

Simpson, Chubby 2 - Best Badger
Simpson, Chubby 2 - Manchurian Badger
Simpson, Chubby 2 - Platinum Synthetic

For the past year or probably more I've only used my Yaqi 26mm Timberwofl synthetic. I have no interest in other brushes, so I imagine I'd be quite happy with three of those. I've already got a spare. I'll only need the third.

 

[zoidberg]

I've bought a lot of brushes over the years but over the last few months, the following 3 get the most use.

ApShaveCo 22mm SynBad
Omega 10075
Omega 10077

Paladin PK-47 2 band badger, Simpson Persian Jar 3 Manchurian Badger, Paladin Chief 2 band badger. Cheers
