How many shave brushes do you own?

Hey delislave is that a re-knotted Ever ready c40 one over on the right? I just got one from a local antique store and I've been using this week and really don't care for the knot. It's way to small and I think it's a pure so that means it's very scritchy (sp)

I'm thinking about getting it re knotted I don't care that it's over 50 years old I just want to be able to enjoy it. :)
 
Currently 9
3 Boars
3 synthetics
3 Badgers

Coming 2 new brushes
1 Omega Barber Pole Synthetic
1 Omega Italian Flag in Boar

That's a Fine Angel hair. It's basically the same knot as the Plisson. $20 plus shipping. Good deal, and definitely has the look of the classic Ever Ready!
