That's interesting. I wonder if you have more brushes that could not make into your rotation, or 8 is all you got? Using the same soap for 8 consecutive days is not something I would tolerate probably, but I might give it a try. Thank you for your input!At home I use an 8 brush rotation with the same soap and at the end of the rotation I pick a soap for the next 8 days and keep the same brush order. It works for me.
I have 8 brushes that I prefer, a synthetic Simpson Classic 1 that rarely sees any use and is exiled to a backup travel bag, a Wee Scot that moves between my travel bags, and occasionally comes out at home, a Simpson Major super in my main travel bag, and an old Parker badger that I had given to my father and have not used since I got it back.That's interesting.

Similar to you, I find myself suddenly with 30 brushes within a few months, courtesy of Yaqi's super-sale or free lucky draw and PIF...so tbh my collection did not cost me much...Hello,
I started wet shaving 10 months ago and I've lost my battle to shaving brush acquisition disorder. I now have around 20 brushes which have various knot types and sizes (badger, boar, horse, synthetic and from 19 mm to 26mm). I kinda regret I got this many brushes as it's a waste of money and time (to care for them and store properly etc). Now that I have them, I want to use all of them (don't want to lose money by selling for undervalue) but don't know what's the best way to rotate. Should I use them one by one meaning one shave with each brush until all of them are used then repeat the cycle? Or is it better to choose 2-3 of them and use them for a month and change next month, etc.? What's your opinions? Thank you.
Yaqi indeed offers excellent value. I have a few of their brushes and mostly are really good quality. I also took advantage of live discount on several occasions. Your collection seems very pleasant on the eye.Similar to you, I find myself suddenly with 30 brushes within a few months, courtesy of Yaqi's super-sale or free lucky draw and PIF...so tbh my collection did not cost me much...
Similar to @Ron R...I put all my brushes where I can admire them and rotate daily depending on 1st, color theme and 2nd, whim for badger, boar, or synthetic...it's easier for me to choose when all are on clear display...

Excellent! No wonder you looked so familiar... I've seen you at the live show frequently......just joking! Good on your though, nothing like a cheap but reasonably good brush. I like a variety of colours. Talking about the live show...it'll be on in 14.5 hours from now..hope to see you there...Yaqi indeed offers excellent value.

Give me 19 of them then you'll only have to pick 1 problem solved
Hi Mark, I use an app called Random Name Picker on Android and put all the soaps, razors and blades I have. The app will then choose a random one from whatever category I want and take it out of the list, this way I cycle through all of my soaps, razors and blades until the list is finished and I start again, some of the combinations can surprise you!
