The Kent brush is one of my favorite bowl lathering brushes.
did u mean for it to look like a heart because u love kents so much?? lol
and too the OP, the possibilities are endless. start with the cheap stuff that is easy to get. everyong needs the cheap stuff to start the collection. while u r looking for the cheaper stuff is when u have the possibility of finding the readyy good stuff.
Likewise, i just wanted a barberpole gillette, i ended up with a #21, then the '34, now i have a #15 also. My holy grails have been found....now just a toggle, bulldog and double ring
I got the #15 replated but sadly i don't have any updated pictures of it yet

So far I have a EJ89, A Merkur 30c and a nice Schick Krona that was Pif'd to me from mftoms59. B&B members have all been very kind to this newbie.

You all put my hardware to shame.
we all started from the bottom. with time u will be just as obsessed.
There is no way to tell where your AD will take you. My Holy Grail may hold no interest for you, and visa versa. Like Mark said, Get em all!
These have been my major razor stepping-stones since I rediscovered traditional shaving and bought my Edwin Jagger DE87 in January 2011:
EJ DE87
Ball-end Old Type
Micromatic open-comb
Mühle 2011 R41 (with NY Shaving Co. Mariner)
Weber DLC with original Classic handle
Weber DLC with Bulldog handle
Fatip with Weber Bulldog handle
Fatip with UFO Goliath handle

I second this. If you can find a bottom dial adjustable your either very lucky or a very serious collector.
You know for me and I'm still debating would have to be the Eclipse red ring razor. I have a member sending me one to use for a bit and this will let me know if the image of my "Grail" razor holds up to real world use. I'm hoping it will. Till then the myth from reality is undecided.
Mark, Mark, Mark, why do you do this?! Now you're setting him off on a path of no return
