The family of brushes in my den that I have made: Left to right- Mahogany with TGN synthetic, 30DC LE with APShaveCo Tuxedo, Maple with TGN Finest Fan, Walnut & Brass Ferrule with Omega Pro, Maple with TGN Boar, Cypress with WD High Mountain Badger.
Gorgeous set of brushes, Jason! You have pretty much covered the spectrum too with a couple of different types of good quality synthetics, two excellent badgers in bulb and fan knot styles, and a pair of equally excellent boar knots. A very well-rounded rotation there!
Stunning collection, Clint, and great photo! I love the handle on the Chubby 2 to the far right. Awesome collection, Jared. I really like how you have them displayed. The massive Kent brush in the top left corner takes my eye everytime I see it. Roger, your collection is simply beautiful. My favorites are the vintage Simpsons and Rooneys in Butterscotch. I love how you have them displayed. I think you have all the bases covered! Fantastic collection, Jason! I'm amazed at the beautiful brush handles that you create. Your maple handle with the TGN Finest Fan is my favorite. I'm proud to own and use one of your brushes myself!
Of those four I may like the horse slightly more than the other three now that it has stopped shedding hairs, but none of my brushes are "the one™" that I can call my favorite.
That is a very good question. I really like both of my badgers, although the WD was too floppy sent in its original handle. When I transferred it to this handle, and set it at 15mm, it made a world of difference. The Finest Fan is a face-lathering dream. The tuxedo is great as well. My least favourite is probably the TGN Boar. It just doesn't have enough loft for the stiffness of the bristles. It is well broken in. I used the Omega knot for the first time this morning and will have to use it for an extended period of time before rendering a decent opinion. I'll have to give your question some thought, Doug. I see a potential focus coming... Thank you, Charlie.
A pic of all my recent restorations, sadly these will be going for sale rather than staying with me but I love them as if they were are mine!
Thank you. Just checked the pic and its all blurry! Looked clear in the cell Oops! Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk
