What's new

How many shave brushes do you own?

I think I am at about a dozen now, about 60/40 boar/badger ratio. A couple are assigned to my travel kits, all the others get use on a random rotation.

Yea, I agree with "Too many and not enough"!
 
Thater: 4125/2 3 band and 4125/2 2 band
Semogue: SOC boar, SOC 2 band badger, 830 and SE 2013
Muhle: silvertip and STF
TOTAL= 8 :)
 
Just 4 for me...

1. Simpsons Chubby 1 "Best" Badger
2. Simpson Chubby 1 "Super"Badger
3. Omega 50068 "Bambino" travel
4. Simpsons Duke 3 "Best"

But the question is ...how many have I owned over the years:pipe:.......

A LOT !!!

I presently own 12 brushes - none of them particularly vintage, nor expensive. I think the most I've shelled out on any single brush is for the L'Occitaine Plisson brush, of which I have 2 (keeping one in its box for later!), and that's only a $30 brush. I do have more synthetic bristle brushes than any other kind, a few boar, and only a couple of badgers.
 
Only 2

1. Simpson Chubby 3 Best Badger (home)
2. Plisson travel in Russian grey badger (travel)

I had others in the past, but just don't see the point of collecting them.

Rooney - One subtraction due to shedding, a few additions.
M&F - Had a few come and go from my den and currently have only one. Plan to add more next year.
Paladin - A great addition. Will hopefully add another next year.
Simpson - A few additions. Tulip is shedding badly. Would like to replace it next year.
Semogue - My 1305 bit the dust, and I sold my Cerda.
Omega - Sold my two silvertips.
TGN - Retired the Pure, and use the Finest as an occasional travel brush.
