How many shave brushes do you own?

I don't have a funny description.
Currently 5:

Rudy Vey Chubby
Shaving.ie brush
Simpsons Chubby 2 in Best
Simpsons CL2
Shavemac D01 in 3 band.
 
Currently 4, but I just ordered a 5th!

[Not in use]: Parker Chrome Silvertip (starter brush, was a bowl lather brush, I no longer bowl lather). I should probably PIF this, but I keep it in case I want to bowl lather something. (My simpsons won't fit in a bowl, and my boar brushes I've never really considered using for bowl...)
EDIT: after writing this I decided to bowl lather some xpec cream with it. So now its sort of in use :)

Omega Pro 49 boar.
Semagogue SOC boar.
Simpsons Chubby 3 Super. (~31mm knot, 57mm loft, somewhere between a fan & a bulb I'd say)

[Just ordered about 30 minutes ago] Shavemac 2-band silvertip, 24mm knot, 48mm loft, fan shape.

I have 5, all on the entry level side of things.

VDH Premium Boar
VDH Luxury Boar
VDH Luxury Pure Badger
Privately made Pure Badger from an unknown source with a hand lathed cocobolo handle
Edwin Jagger Best Badger Medium, black handle
 
Only 2 boar hair brushes right now. Would like to pick up a badger hair and synthetic at some point too, but I have been holding off on any major shaving purchases (for now :001_rolle).
 
5: 2 boars (an Omega 10049 and a Semogue 1470), 2 badgers (Parker best badger and WD high mountain), and 1 synthetic (Fine Angelhair).
 
Only 1... a black badger Ebay special from China. I've had it 6 years now and it's doing fine.
I've got a nice piece of Maple which I have half a mind to use to turn a handle from if I can source a knot.

Cheers
Steve
