Haha, is this a trick question? Currently I use a rotation of 16 badgers with a drawer full of synthetics and boars. All in all around 30 in total.
How many shave brushes do you own?

5 Total:
M&F Jade 2XL: 28mm Blonde Bulb
M&F Tiger 2XL: 28mm Finest Bulb
M&F Ivory 2XL: 28mm Finest Hybrid
Paladin/M&F Butterscotch Marble PK-47: 26mm Hybrid
RazoRock 400: 24mm Plissoft
Love me some M&F knots obviously, and only recently got the 400. Wasn't sure how much I was gonna like the Plissoft knot, but I'm very pleasantly surprised. Nice change of pace, and may not get a reknot after all!

Thater beehive badger and
Semogue 620 boar
far too many to justify.
guilty, your honour!
guilty, your honour!
Now that's a beautiful sight!!!
I have approx 12 brushes, most of which are in storage from not getting used, I keep 3 in rotation in my shave drawer
1) Yaqi R1730 Sagrada Familia (Tuxedo Synthetic) (my go to brush)
2) Semogue Excelsior 830 (Boar)
3) Stirling Finest Badger Shave Brush (Marble Handle)
After trying a lot of brushes I have narrowed down my favorites to these three, I tend to be a creature of habit and grab the Yaqi almost daily, it is a powerhouse brush, very soft, just the right amount of backbone and is a wonderful brush for whipping up a great face lather.

What do you feed them?
Antique Hoosier
“Aircooled”
4 years later up to 3 shaving brushes. Still have the original vintage boar I purchased on B&B BST back in early 2007 as well as two simple Simpson brushes... both Colonel, just one produced in Somerset England and one from Isle of Man. The aforementioned THATER in Plexi was a treat that should never have been sold but POOF off it went maybe only a few months after buying it.
4. Tiny AoS badger that comes with starter 4 elements kit, Barburys by Sibel synthetic, vintage boar, and 2 day old Omega 10098
Three.
One small badger in an antique Ever Ready handle.
One Semogue 620 boar.
But those are packed away now. I only use this:
