Three.
Semogue 740
Semogue 1305
Semogue badger that looks like a 2020 (can't remember the exact model).
Great brushes. The handle on the 740 is a little hard to hold but other that that, I have no complaints.

3. DaVinci 293
4. Thater 4125/2 silvertip

Less than I used to, but still much more than most...
I once had many, many, many M&F brushes
But now only 10
I'm currently focusing on Simpson Manchurian
And Plisson HMW
But still have many more not pictured above.

Very nice Ben! I'm jealous!
Wow Ben. That's an unreal collection
This has got to be the most visually appealing collection I have seen, congrats!
That was my only brush for more than 9 years. I was perfectly happy. I did not know there was anything else. I still have it but I use it very seldom. My other 3 brushes are a Vulfix 660 Super Badger (small), Omega 10066 boar, and a Pure Badger that came with NGT soap and After Shave.1 Walmart Wilkinson swordI envy you guys with multiple brushes.....heck I envy a guy with one decent brush
I have 7, use 6:
Thater 4125/1 2-band bulb
Semogue 620
Simpson's Berkeley
B&B Essential
Slate Shaving 22mm Silvertip
Omega 10029
Rooney 3/1 Best (Don't use, will be selling soon)

3 Boar, 2 Spanish horse, 2 Turkish horse, 1 Black badger, 7 additional badger, and 1 synthetic.
I have 4. Only use 3 unless I'm traveling.
I currently have five brushes that I'm proud to own and use in rotation. My first brush ever is a Parker Pure Badger, and for my birthday this year, my girlfriend bought me a Parker chrome handled Silvertip. I also have a Semogue 1305 and an Omega 10098 that are both incredible. For travel, I use my GBS Pure Badger travel shaving brush.
Hi,how long you are using this Omega Boar ?
I own 8.
I have 4 Semogues, 2 Simpsons and 2 restored EverReady's.
I mostly reach for the boar, It shreds the hard soap.

* Rooney 1/2
* Vie Long Horse, BGS Beehive, Brown 35/65 mix
* Vie Long Horse, 13066B, White 50/50 mix - in transit
* Simpsons Case
* Simpsons Duke 3, Best Badger 3 band - in transit
I'm thinking I'll let 'em fight it out and then put 2-3 on BST, but then I haven't sold anything yet... I just like my stuff too much.
