Two brushes would be a minimum for me, to allow the one I use to dry naturally over night (Irish climate...)
So, if you can have any two brushes, but only two what are they. It can be from brushes you own or not. Pics encouraged!
For me I would want one badger and one boar, that can do well in a scuttle or direct to face.
The Badger would be my Chubby 2 in Best (mine
is drying here) and this Zenith 507n se pure bleached bristle.
The Chubby 2 in Best is a real all rounder. If I could only have one brush, this would be it. I just love the knot. The handle is so-so for me but it's fine.
This Zenith is, however, also an excellent brush. It feels amazing on my face when scrubbing and splays beautifully. It's better than the Chubby at delivering lather with painting strokes. Great handle too. If I was recommending a brush to a friend starting out it would be this, or a SOC 2 band if for some reason they refused to try boar.
For travel in this scenario I'd use the Chubby in a Simpson case. I would *prefer* to bring my little Mondiale synthetic that fits in its handle - man that is one great little brush but the two brush limit applies!
if you can name two what if you could only have one? Or, if you could be happy with just one what is it? Maybe it's a different brush entirely...
I guess it's the Chubby for me. But the SV badger you can see behind it is possibly capable of bumping it...
*Respectfully, if you don't wish to discuss shaving brushes as opposed to lathering without a brush or non-lather shave products even if you think they are the best option, this thread is not really for you*
