Can I ask what is the third brush from the left on the third shelf down? Love the look of it. Thanks.
You don't need very many.... just a few...
How Many Brushes Does One Need? Really?

I can tell you where that collection is NOT located - California. That would not do well in earthquake country 
Although a quick mod of a bungee or low gauge wire across each shelf should keep everything in place.
Incredible collection of higher end brushes.

Need, probably 2. I think brushes are happier when they don't get used every day so they can fully dry between shaves. But it is fun to have more. I think I have 5, have my eye on 2-3 more right now

I think the correct term is SBAD(Shave Brush Acquistion Disorder).
But ya only need one brush. I have gone 3 years on just a Colk Conk Badger Brush, though I did buy a VDH Boar for the wife's legs and have tried it a time or two. I have thought about going to a Badger but I face lather shave sticks and everything points to boar being better. Maybe one day...
I do have several razors tho'....
I didn't see SBAD when I was looking through the abbreviation index this morning. Certainly, SBAD is a more accurate description. I mean we're not collecting various models of the Tooth Brush.
The correct answer is n + 1 where n is equal to the number of brushes which one now owns

Sorry, don't know what it is. It's not my collection, just a great pic someone posted in the Sabbatical thread.
One at the minimum but a lot of people aren't just going on need and need can vary from person to person. I have two. One I use as my main brush and a travel brush. It's really up to you to determine how many you need/want.
I own 2 brushes. Both of them are cheap boar brushes, I only have 2 because the first one broke and I needed to replace it. Brushes are the only aspect of wetshaving that I don't have any real interest in except that I need a brush.
I'd say you only need three with one of them being a travel brush.
I currently have three (which is an indulgence) that I use and I'm yet to get a travel brush.

+ 1 !!!!!!!!!
When the brushes start to bother you and start to occupy your space, that's the time to be picky. Don't worry, it's ok.
Still a good brush is worth investing in. And I believe you need at least 2 brushes, to rotate between them.
Yeah I intend on getting a good one for christmas but it is just not a priority for me right now.

I picked up the EJ best badger today. After cleaning it, I made a cream lather and the results were superb. I get good results from the boar brush I have, an old Ever Ready C40 given to me by my grandparents, it's in good working condition and is broken in nice.
Living near the foggy beach in San Francisco, I have two, because it takes more than 1 day for the little darlings to dry out. Actually I have right around 10, but you get the idea...

Speechless I am. Wow!
