The end of my SBAD.

[Teddyboy]

This is the final burst of my SBAD activity, and I think I'm finished, at least for the near future. From left to right:

1] Rudy Vey - 2-band Finest XH knot at 22/47; the handle is resin impregnated mesquite.
2] Thater 4125/2 - 2-band at 26/47; extremely soft and gentle; a bit more floppy than I expected from a 2-band.
3] Shavemac 23408- 2-band D01 at 24/46; soft but extreme backbone; very unique and could be my new favorite.
4] Simpsons Classic 2 in best badger - great face latherer.
5] Simpsons Chubby 1 in 2-band - also a great face latherer.

I think these brushes encompass a broad spectrum of brush characteristics and should keep me interested and well-lathered for a long time to come. Together with the other brushes in my rotation, I think I'm done. A sense of calm is slowly rising within.

Great looking collection! The Shavemac looks to be a very interesting brush indeed...

Ted, great collection!
Wait until you try the Rooney Heritage Stubby line, especially the older ones. Hee hee.

 

[Krona Kruiser]

Those look great! My SBAD has been in remission for the last 2 months but I've been happy with 6 brushes. You've got a nice sampler there!

What is an "XH" knot? The only 2-band I've ever used is a TGN Finest. In other news.... Great collection!

XH- extra hair.

Thank you, Krona Kruiser. Now I just have to add more hair to my TGN.....

You have a beautiful collection of fine brushes sir, however you got one thing wrong... There is no cure or end for sbad. Sorry...

Great collection, but.....famous last words.

Very nice collection. I've said that quite a few times myself, that I was finished, but something always seems to come along and get it going again.

I'm just about done too. The 4125/2 - 2-band in black is in my top 5 at #3. After the holidays I may consider selling my 49125/0 3 band and/or Duke 1 to add a Simpson 56 or 57 to compete my top 5.

The more I see collections like this the more surprised I become at how small most Simpsons brushes are in comparison. Not judging, just an observation.

Nice Collection...I say the same thing. I'm finished for the near future (i.e. it's past midnight, I'll get back to it tomorrow)
