I've been hit with SBAD very badly. The current brush rotation I use is as follows: Saville Row 3824, Shavemac 23mm, Ronney 1/1. I would like to buy another, does anybody have any good recommendations for what I should buy. I would like to keep the cost around $100. Thanks!
Any Recommendations for my next?

Why not trying something completely different like a boar or a synthetic brush. Omega makes boar and synthetic brushes. Semogue is also worth considering for their boar brushes. These brushes are $ 10-20.
Oh boy..... SBAD....
Got bitten myself ;-)
How about this beauty:
From the site:
The fine badger hairs are inserted into the form by hand, thereby completely preserving their natural softness. Exotic rosewood is an ideal material for the manufacture of high-quality objects, furniture and music instruments. Its violet-brown to black colouring and its great density and hardness make it particularly interesting.
This one is high on my list, although I already have a Muhle.
It is 42,90 euros, so about 60USD.

Is that Hoffritz?
One of the few items I would buy just for display. 
How about the Kent BK4? Thats one great brush. 
You seem to be missing a Simpson's in your rotation. Get yourself a Chubby 1 and your SBAD will be taken care....for now.
Rooney 2/1 in Super from Vintage Blades.
Save a load of dough and get a Simpson's Wee Scot....everyone needs a tiny brush to demonstrate the difference between driving a school bus and an MG.
+1...great little brush.

Nice handle, but the knot looks like something you'de use to clean the mud off a Hippo.
+1 from me too on the Wee Scot. I'd also recommend a custom Shavemac in Finest with an 18 to 19mm knot and 40 to 45mm loft. That's well under your $100 budget, you get to pick your handle style and color. It's not super tiny, in case you're worried about the WS being too small. Alternatively, a Simpsons X1 is a good brush. Small with a great handle and well within your budget.
I'm a fan of small brushes. I own a 19mm/45mm Shavemac in Finest, a Wee Scot, and a Rooney 1/1 (among others).
