I was going to say too many brushes till I saw this. Now I'm thinking the answer is not enough brushes.
. I think I have 14 brushes. I keep getting brushes so I can give to people who can't afford shave supplies. I keep trying to get everything I can cheap to help others out who can't afford it.
5ish

Yaqi 24 mm silvertip badger with Mysterious Space handle
APShaveCo 30 mm SynBad with faux marble handle

I only own seven. One for each day of the week.
One,... singular sensation! All I need. Simpson 56 Best Badger.
OK so I'm down to four. Parker Silvertip, Parker black badger with a faux ivory marbled handle, Remembering Sue Omega, and an Omega boar that was on sale for $7 @ WCS for the missy's legs and whatnot.
I actually prefer black badger over silvertip, for me it gives a much more exfoliating shave while still being badger. It's a bit softer at the tips than a pure, but a bit more backbone than a pure. Like the perfect blend of badger and boar.

I only own 1 brush.
It feels great, smells great and it works every time just as it should. I guess I am in a very small minority here seeing the gigantic collections others have.

I got around 30 brushes that all positioned all over my area. Definitely don't need more but I am looking towards adding couple more for experimentation sake. I went a little too crazy this year with brushes but I'm hoping to slow it down for the next year with more GRUMEs.
I own maybe 5 brushes (leaving aside the Gillette Deep Sea Brush, bought for a larf).
Only three get used.
One of them lives in my shower and is used when in a hurry (Kent Silvertex), which is "almost always"; One is for weekends and occasions (Mk1 Plisson / L'Occitane) and the third goes to Norway with Lady Fatboy and I (Omega Mixed Midget).
My 32mm silvertip never gets used and neither does the Omega 48, 'cos they're just too huge.
I want to be a brush guy. I really do, but looking at the price of quality brushes turns my thoughts to how much cutting compound and how many dinged up straight razors could be bought with it.
