Now that you have tried many great brushes, which ones would be your top 2?
My Den is finally done

I appreciate the photos. I can't understand te concept of "complete". 
But seriously, as other members said, there is room for more stuff on those shelfs.

What are these "complete" you speak of?
You'd just have to buy 5 more to replace them.

That is a subjective topic so this is just YMMV, one thing I have discovered for me is that I do not prefer SHD knots, I like more flow thru, so with that said:
1). Morris & Forndran 26mm Finest Fan
2). Paladin 26mm, I have only used this brush twice but the knot is the closest to the Morris & Forndran knot I have found.
The Shavemac 2 band and the Elite Razor knots are great also.
I have one Simpson’s Manchurian, and it is a great knot, but I prefer the M&F and Paladin knots.
You probably have noticed that for me for a brush to be exciting to use the handle needs to be something special as well, in color and design.
That is my 2 cents worth.
Doug
P. S. If you like SHD knots I will probably be selling my BradSears 28mm Estate Arley at some point.
Doug,
I’m glad that you enjoy the Paladin. I was wondering how “you two” got along. To see/hear that it has earned a place in your rotation is great, and a high spot too. I wish you many fine shaves with your new Paladin.
Semper Fi,
Tim
I don't see you mention anything about blades. Have you narrowed does your choices or are you still experimenting? I've got everything under control except blades. I'm trying to narrow down my choices but it's not working. I just bought 11 more varieties.

My blades are:
Polsilver SI,
Wizamet SI,
Personna Crystal
Personna Israeli Red
These are my regulars I use the Polsilvers and the Wizamets the most
Doug
Doug,
Don't even try Gillette Silver Blue blades. Your den (and your werld!) will be rocked.
And of course, that will leave more for me!
Sincerely, Dave
I didn’t think a shave den was ever completed. I thought a shave den was like the Winchester Mansion, always under construction.
I think we should change our phrasing to something like “his condition has stabilized” or “the disorder has gone into remission.” 
I like the way you think @CJB3.
Doug “is feeling better now”, “he’s shown remarkable improvement”, “looks like he’s going to pull through.”
If I’m not mistaken @SgtCrppls was just commenting about his next brush being a Simpson.
Hmmmm…Den is complete while looking at brushes…”He may not be cured, after all.”

That is an awesome set up. We are building an upstairs bathroom for when my disease gets too bad, and I've created a portion of it to look similar to yours. Congrats on your achievement!

Latest update to my Den, only two vacant brush spots left.
Hate to burst your bubble, @SgtCrppls , but I see a major den remodeling in your future.... especially if the Arkoman ever moves in...he breeds like Tribbles!
If you stagger those brushes to the front and back of the shelves, you could almost double the capacity of that medicine cabinet.

Good call.If you stagger those brushes to the front and back of the shelves, you could almost double the capacity of that medicine cabinet.
Doug has a great group of brushes. But the space utilization is sub-par.
Luckily, I didn’t see any back ups, or back ups to the back ups. (B&B Brush Law #52)
So there is an opportunity to correct the space utilization issue and still only have amazing brushes in the den.
Get cracking! LOL
