How many different B&B brushes are there?

[InfernoOrangeSS]

Having recently purchased the red and smoke boar brushes, I was interested in finding the first run in blue color. As I was doing some searching, I found that there have been some LE brushes made. I looked at the Brush compendium, but it only lists 3 of the LE brushes. Is there someplace that lists all the brushes that have been made special for B&B?
Just curious.
Thank you!

Found a wiki page listing nearly all of the B&B products.

Thank you Jayk. That one slipped my mind.

And, as I recall, the 2007 B&B Essential came in two runs. The first was said to be better than the last. I have one of the last run, and it is very nice in my opinion.

Thank you guys!

Any speculation on what we could be expecting for 2013?

The Essential boar is out now. As for a badger brush, haven't heard anything yet.

Hopefully a new LE.

+1 ... I have one from the second run, and its great. I wish they would bring it back as a regular production item.

What year was the second run? 2008? 2009? I know it was one of the earliest brushes I got, but I can't remember how far back.

I remember seeing the 2012 LE when I first joined and I didn't really understand the appeal of LE brushes. But after a year of B&B it makes a lot of sense, and I definitely see and feel the appeal of LE brushes. I am currently working on justifying an Essential boar brush to myself.

The 2009LE was offered in both an Ebony and Butterscotch handle.

 

[dpm802]

Wasn't there a brush that was offered with a Thiers-Issard LeGrolet straight razor? I didn't get that one, so I'm not sure if they were sold as a pair or individually.

It was probably the '08, because that is the only B&B LE brush I don't have

I'm hoping that we hear something about a 2013 LE badger brush soon

I don't believe that anyone has yet mentioned the 2010 Eagle Group Buy.

Also known as the best three-band brush ever.

If I remember correctly, they ran pretty much back-to-back time-wise. Think there was more demand than brushes, so a second batch was commissioned and lagged the first by a matter of months. Joel or John at WestCoastShaving would know for sure.

My B&B brush in red just came today.....such and amazing deal for the 20 bucks it costs.

Mine just came today as well. Seems a much better brush than the $20 price. Really soft, but still rigid like a boar brush. Excellent value!

I can't wait for the next LE. I hope they start teasing us soon!
