[Ron R]

5 total
These two see about 95% use for daily shaving!
-Razorock Plissoft black handle- in shaving bowl
-Razorock butterscotch Noir 400 Plissoft - in shaving bowl

Three that do not get used much other than travel or washing my face
-Chinese aluminium handle 21 mm synthetic- some backbone scritch + good for face washing-hardly used
-Chinese no name 20 mm synthetic wooden handle - travel brush -hardly used
-Omega boar brush I use occasionally- first brush I bought and had a lot of funk. - hardly used
Have some great shaves!

That is a great sight. I wouldn't mind walking into your shaving den, haha

15 - 20
It's probably about an even split between badger & synthetic.

 

[Razorcan]

None.
I have always used shaving foam or gel with my DE since 1980 when I started shaving.

 

[Marcos1]

5 brushes currently. One of which is a synthetic that only gets used if I’m flying which isn’t often.

You mean how many the War Department knows about?

So you were the ones who took the Craving Shaving Serenity.. I was eyeing that for a while, haha. Anyways, nice collection you got there! Variety of brushes to test out.

Thank you sir! Yeah, I couldn't resist; I had the one, and he just makes such a good brush! Variety is the spice of life.

Well, because of you, I ordered the first custom brush from Charles. Arrived today and as always, he makes beautifully built brushes. I also put his new Fan Fiction knot in it so I can't wait to try it out!

 

[benos]

Wow, beautiful green jade color! Yeah, that knot looked really interesting with the blend of synthetic and badger hair, I think it was? Let me know how it performs!

9 thats 7 too many

 

[zed117]

One Badger (Stirling Yaqi) and five synthetics (PAA Atomic Rocket, Starcraft, Solar Flare; WCS, Stirling).
I could always use another Badger, but I have plenty for now, maybe an Ever Ready.

 

[SliceOfLife]

About 30 users
About 30 display brushes (Horn, ivory, Sterling, etc)
About 10 handles for when I find knots I want to put in a nice vintage handle
About 10 Brushes currently on their way out (listed on eBay/planned to sell on BST/etc)
About 50-100 unwanted brushes I got in lots or brushes I bought that I didn't think were good enough to resell separately that are in a box that'll get sold as a big junk lot eventually

The solar flare looks sort of like a Omega synth... How's the backbone on it? Who makes that brush?

Thanks. [emoji846]

It’s from PAA, not much flopping, my softest brush. It’s very nice.
