My favorite brush right now is my Plisson HMW 12. It is a great brush with incredibly soft tips.
What is your favorite shaving brush?

i don't speak much German either, and google translate does not do a good job on the German Forum, but id does just fine for the website.
the different scent (translated to english) is just an outstanding vendor. i got my order in something like 8 days, with a grab bag of samples no less!
I'm gonna go with this one...
This is a tough one to answer. I tend to use specific brushes with specific soaps/creams and even go as far as one brush with one specific soap or cream.
I'd say my favorites are my D01 Shavemac, 2006 B&B LE, B&BE and I have a custom on it's way from our own CooncatBob that I think will be the best looking brush in my collection.
Honestly, I can't say I have just one that I'd call my favorite.

In the last couple of year my preference has moved away from larger brushes. Right now my favorite brush is the B&B LE 2008.
I just got a Rooney 1/1 and like it, but I would prefer a little more handle length.If I could do it over I'd probably go for a 3/1 or the emilion.The handle on the style 3 looks almost identical to my old hofritz brushes purchased back in the 70,s and I wanted something different hence the style 1 purchase.

I've been pleasantly surprised by the performance of the Simpfix Emperor 3. It does creams and soaps, bowl and face lathering, is soft-tipped but still "firmish," has good flow-through, and the size is right. Gets a slight nod over the Duke 3 Best because of knot size and over the Rooney 2/1 because the handle is just a touch bigger.
Vulfix 2234.
I have just one brush so far, an Il Ceppo badger brush (made in Italy) with a heavy stainless steel handle that came as part of a set (with a bowl, 2-sided shave mirror and a matching heavyweight Mach 3 handle). My Merkur 38C fits perfectly on the hook for the razor, and looks pretty cool there even though it is slightly more silver in color. Anyway, the brush looks like best or super badger to me (it said "real badger", which doesn't really fit into any of the usual categories.) It feels great and works great, and I have no desire to look for any others at this time.
Enjoy!
Enjoy!

Pre-Vulfix Simpson Duke 3 Best. I now own two, just in case. But then I'm one of those knuckle dragging soap using face latherers. 
An old McNEESE that I restored with a 20mm silvertip knot.
Rooney 1/1 Finest. Killed my SBAD in its tracks.
One of the finest soap brushes ever made.

That T3 looks just perfect. Thanks for sharing.
If my home caught on fire and I could only grab one brush, it would probably be my PL8 at far left. But it's a very hard call. Sort of like "Soapie's Choice"?
