My small Brush rotation

Since joining in Feb I have aquired several brushes and these are what I have kept and the rest have been PIF's or sold or passed on. The little Butterscotch on the end arrived 2 weeks ago via a very generous gentlemen here on the forum. I paid a nominal price and then he throws in 2 more (1 pifed and 1 in cupboard) and this week the Shavemac arrived also via BST. In fact the FS is the only one not from a forum member.
As I get used to the different brushes I am starting to appreciate the difference although "loft" and "backbone" etc are still terms I am learning. OK Gents anyones favorite on the shelf so far?
In terms of softness the little Butterscotch is my pick. Best alround from my limited experience I think the 57. Your thoughts...
I mainly bowl lather both soaps and creams.

Very nice rotation! My fav. handle would be the WW Bob, my favorite knot would be the 2-band Finest. My recommendation for a next brush? Rooney! After that, maybe a synthetic or a boar to round things out a bit.
 
This is what I am still to learn. I have used it twice and in my laymans terms its feels similar to whats in the butterscotch very soft more so than the others IMO. Being slightly bigger suits me more than the smaller knot. Very nice to use.
See still green mate :)

What do you think of the knot in the Shavemac?
 
Thanks. That sounds like a plan. I have had a couple of boars so probably wont go back there but a Rooney and maybe the chinese Pur Tech or whatever its called.

If you took away all my brushes and replaced them with what you have pictured, I would be angry, but definitely left with a very nice rotation. My favorite in your stash is the 57, mainly because my butterscotch 58 is one of my personal favorites to use.
