Although there are other brushes that are quite good, this brush is still my favorite.
I'm no good at these hypotheticals. It would certainly be between Simpson, M&F, Rooney and Plisson. I'm not a big fan of any of the other brands - at least from the brushes I've tried. I'd probably grab a Rooney Alibaba finest (center) if I had to pick only 1 but who knows? I hope I never find out!

Damn the rules!
You'd be a fool to take just one!

I would probably drown on the sinking ship trying to decide between my Duke 2 and Rudy Vey custom.
I would use whatever kind of brush they had on Gilligan's Island ... probably the Professor invented a knot out of coconut fibers and a handle made from lava rock. Except Mr. Howell, I'm sure he brought along his own custom-made Pli$$on with a 24K gold handle encrusted with diamonds, emeralds and rubies.
The Castaways may have had no phone, no lights, no motor-cars ... but they were always clean-shaven.

Love my Semogue Boar and Shavemac Badgers but I can't do without my Vie-Long Horses
My problem would be which Rooney to stranded with - I love all that I have!
Either my Duke 2 or my Wee Scot. Since the Wee Scot is so small, maybe I could sneak it in and have both.
+1 on the Wee Scot. Not necessarily because it's my absolute favorite brush of all time, but because I assume that if I'm stranded on a desert isle I'm gonna have to ration my soap/cream for the long haul. This also assumes no coconuts lying around and no ability to produce my own cream.
this is also an argument for grabbing a straight, strop, sharpening stones, oil etc., etc., before abandoning ship and hoping the weight of it all doesn't drag me under before I have time for my first shave.

But what a way to go, with an armful of shaving goodies!
Stranded on an island??? Straight up ape mode for me. Beard, nose, chest...I'll let everything grow out LOL.
I love both Semogue boars and Simpson badgers, but if I could have only one it would certainly be a Simpson. Duke Series.
I love both my Simspons but I'm thinking my old Omega 10777 boar would have no problems with any island water, so thats what I went with.
Sigh, impossible to answer this question. I have brushes and creams/soaps that compliment each other so I'd have to pick a single cream as well. I like this answer:
Damn the rules!
None of the above. I'd take one of my vintage brushes, reknotted with a TGN Finest Badger, extra hair knot.
Probably this one...a "Brushman" handle with a 20mm knot, loft set at 48mm.
