Remember to forget me!
30 is too much for me, never mind 300
The correct answer to the poll is “Yes.” It’s just too bad so many people will be going without Chubby brushes in SiLVERTiP and Manchurian...

I was a "no" until 2 months ago. I previously owned a Chubby 2 Super, Savile Rows, and all that, but switched to synthetics a few years back. Now I switched back to badger only and been hunting all the "top" artisan brushes in the market (so far have acquired or gotten into the following waitlists: Declaration Grooming B9a 28mm, Paladin Beehive 26mm, M&F Ebonite 2XL 28mm, Oku Brush Sevilla 26mm (below 300), Mozingo ZT3 brush 28mm, Rhodium Brush 28mm, The Varlet 29mm Ranger HD). Still pending to receive some of those, but after that, I would only need to try to get a Black Eagle someday.
I dislike the thought of buying a used brush, so Wiborgs and others are out of the equation for me. But yes, you can count me in the "Yes" category now lol
This is the point. Quality over quantity.I have a chubby 3 which gives a very luxurious face lather. It cost under $200 . Before those criticise anyone spending $300 or more, ask how many brushes do those in favour of cheaper ones own. I'm constantly astounded when I read of guts who own a dozen brushes or more. Bet these numerous cheap brushes total more outlay than the one or two more luxurious brushes.
I know I'm getting away from brushes here, but that's where I was with a couple of Wolfman razors I came to possess. They were good in use (but I had others that worked better for me), and they were incredibly beautiful, but it was just too tempting to turn them into cash.I had a Wiborg a few years ago. Nice brush, but not too different from other well made brushes. Ended up selling it.
I haven't seen many posts from people talking about their 1 or 2 high dollar brushes. They generally seem to have quite a few more. So apparently the high dollar brush doesn't meet all their needs. At that price you think it would, but a lot of people collect things.I have a chubby 3 which gives a very luxurious face lather. It cost under $200 .

so true!!! on ANY hobby you can go cheap or go super expensive on artisan products or anywhere in between. enjoy your hobbies to the fullest. pay what you are comfortable with.These polls/posts are numerous for all shaving hardware and software, brush, razor, soap/cream, and I’ve never been sure what the purpose of them is. Then after a month or two there’s another one - kind of like the recurring ‘Would you buy a used soap’ threads. I’ve killed a lot of brain cells to read a lot of them. There’s never any conclusion or answer beyond ‘some will and some won’t’. If you’re looking for anything beyond that you’re unlikely to find it.
