First shave with my new daughter designed/painted badger brush.

20mm SF Silvertip.

I was nervous because it's such a special brush and I didn't think to silicone the knot in just in case I didn't like it (my first time using this particular knot).

No need to worry though - it was great. And only shed one hair that I could see.

Looks like a badger face on the end of the handle, interesting thought & idea for something different!

Brush: Yaqi Tuxedo knot 24mm Sagrada Familia- named after a famous Cathedral in Barcelona Spain( I visited it myself), excellent lather generator with cloud like soft tips + great scrubber & lather painter.

Have some great shaves! Stay and think safe in these times!
 
Have not shaved yet today, but I was curious as to how many times I had used each of my brushes in the last 24 days, I used 24 days because that was when I acquired my last brush.

Zenith 505AK Manchurian 5 times
Simpson’s Duke 2 Best. 5 times
Australian Mallee Burl with a 24mm SHD Maggard knot. 4 times
Simpson’s M7 Best. 5 times
Zenith Large Boar. 3 times
Zenith 50/50 Horse. 2 times

and last , but apparently least

Simpson’s Chubby 2 Synthetic. 0 times

I guess I look at a Synthetic as a travel brush, it is a great brush need to use it more.

Off the cuff I can say three because I'm an every day shaver and I keep eight brushes in my rotation at a time. Eight might not be exact for me but it's close.
