1 year on B&B - Brushes...

[Multum in parvo]

I came here with a "rotation" of 2 Omega boars and a seldom used Crabtree and Evelyn Super Badger.

BAD hit hard and today after some slight thinning out/PIF's/reshuffeling I stand at:

Tier 1 - my Core rotation of 9 brushes
It looks like my mind is organized in threes and multiples thereof .

Shavemac: 24mm 2 Band Bulb; Beagle 2 Band Fan; 24mm D01-2 Band Bulb
Simpsons: Commodore X1 2 Band Silvertip, DUKE 3 Manchurian, Eagle G3 Pure
Semogue: SOC Mistura, Finest, Boar

Tier 2 - Vintage Vibe & Special Occasions

Ever-Ready reknot by @Snargle , Semogue 610, Whiting-Adams reknot by @Snargle , Omega 20102, Zenith 506AK Manchu

The Synths:

Yaqi Rainbow Pony & Bali

The Travelers:

Omega Travel Boar, Omega 599 Super, Mühle STF 19mm, Omega/Proraso Bambino Boar

The Stragglers - still undecided upon on or already on the way out...

Not sure if this a typical fate on B&B but it surely was a fun ride

A lovely collection Hannes, that X1 is tempting. Beautiful grain on the Semogue Finest, you were lucky there.

 

[Beefdrippings]

I like that Whiting Adams, and i
don’t blame ya when it comes to the Trafalgar.

 

[Hannah's Dad]

Stellar lineup of brushes! Looking forward to seeing your stash in another year or two.

Cut me some slack it’s only been 12 months…

 

[It's Hedley]

Outstanding lineup, so much variety. BAD is real.

Bad is real for sure lol, and congrats on your one year. Ngl I was scrolling and the screen was only showing your tier 1 and I thought "huh, this ain't too bad", then I scrolled more and saw the other tiers. Heh. I'm in a similar boat as you, I need to whittle down my brushes.

beautiful collection! I’m glad to have collaborated with the 2-band SOC. Happy to see it in the top tier!

 

[Ravenonrock]

Big time stunners. A sweet stable of fine brushes.

Great line up, especially your first tier!!

 

[ojshaves]

I find myself buying more colourful synthetic brushes on purpose these days mainly to give variety to SOTD pics! I regret buying so many 'black' handle synthetics over the years. The choice available these days just seems to get better and better.

 

[tyoung]

Excellent selection!

Nice!
Hannes, how is that Bambino. I was considering a purchase, but the knot dimensions are smaller even compared to my smallest Omegas. Does it give adequate performance?

Yes it does! It’s a scrubby 18mm knot and compared to the 13mm Wee Scot this is plenty.

That is one handsome stable you're stocking there. The jade Shavemac gets me every time.

 

[Snargle]

I'm glad to see a couple of my children settled in and happy in their new home!

It’s a pity that Bernd has discontinued this handle shape as it is a real contender for the Eagle.
