I have a brush problem, am I the only one?

[SgtCrppls]

My brushes are in my medicine cabinet, when I am home every few hours I like to
go in and look at them, pull a few off the shelf feel the handle and the knot then put it back.

Do I have a problem or am I just ordinary like most of us un-ordinary members of B&B?

This is what my cabinet looks like, I have one M&F that I have loaned out to a member and I just bought
a Mozingo from Dan aka @Hannah's Dad , that leaves me one last spot to fill.

Got you beat, when I visit the bathroom I don't have to open a cabinet, mine are always exposed..

I leave my cabinet door open when I am home
Very nice Den

I think it’s normal.

Anytime Doug’s not home I go to his house and admire those awesome brushes as well!!!

It's nice to know, "I'm kinda normal".

One might imagine many of us are reincarnated Barbers who just spent so much time 'In Our Shops with tack out and ready' that we naturally take a hankering to having a small place -now- that reminds us of "Home."

(It just dawned upon me that I miss my Paidar Barbers' Chairs.)

That’s perfectly normal but there’s definitely room for lots more brushes in there. You need to get more creative with how you stack them.

12 is the max number I want to have 4 per shelf, but thanks for your insight.

 

[Big Jim]

I kind of do that most every night when I select the brush and soap I want to use the next day.

The bottom shelf doesn’t have a single brush on it. That’s another 4 straight away.

I got bunch of brushes lined up across my desk so I feel them, sometimes smell them, and put them back. They're nice to look at and just enjoy even when not shaving.

Displaying like that, the brushes are as good as a painting. I'd display them in a glass fronted cabinet hung on your bedroom wall. I've the SV one which is superlative in every way.

You definitely don't have a problem, Doug... we are similarly un-ordinary members here...??
Here's mine...as you can see...I have a problem...there's no more real estate for another brush...
It's just outside the bathroom and in front of my bed...on top of the dresser...my wife complained I spend more time there than on the TV...

 

[Roy]

Just shows how the brush makers are artists, and skilled in their craft.

I know you limit your rotation to 10 or 12 brushes, but in the past 18 months I think I've seen 30 different brushes in your photos of that medicine cabinet. You are the George Steinbrenner of shaving brushes, Doug. Steinbrenner was famous for signing high priced talent to the NY Yankees and often within weeks the guy would disappear out of the Yankee lineup. Similarly, an incredible number of gorgeous, expensive, top-line brushes come and go in and out of your rotation...

I think you're having fun with this. I know I'm having one helluva time watching you have fun. Dying to see what turns up next.

 

[Whilliam]

Don't have that many, but, yeah, they're nice to feel.

Yes, the SV is a great brush, they have in stock, & the store in Spain will ship anywhere and has a better selection and is even a little cheaper. Can not understand why they do not get more attention.

And see the two brushes I piffed you, very nice collection, my friend

Glad you touched on this, I was just looking at the SV website at their brushes and was reading reviews, which seem to say it's a huge, huge brush. What say you? I also like their wooden lathering bowl with the handle at the bottom.

I do like to take a brush out sometimes, feel the bristles, and my son will waddle over and i'll tickle him on the nose with it.

I think Doug shows much restraint - I also use a medicine cabinet to limit the Tribbles' expansion ...
