I weeded my brushes pretty hard this year and now have them down to four I use regularly, five others I use occasionally, and a couple others that are still around. Here they are, the good, the not bad, and the ugly:



Top row - the very good: Alluminati Envy White, 30DC LE Maple Cashmere, Jason's @jtspartan Cypress Badger (Maggards 24mm two - band badger knot), Semogue Owners Club cherrywood boar

Second row - the not bad: Muhle Black Fibre, Muhle Silvertip Fibre, Canadian Rubberset 100V (Maggards 22mm plissoft knot), Chinese hardwood w/ Maggards 24mm plissoft, Supply Provision 26mm silvertip synthetic

Bottom row: Simms 1921 patent date badger-effect boar slide-out travel brush (mainly a collectible); and The Ugly, a still boxed Surrey "Premium" badger so floppy it's best used to dust computer screens.

Yes it is. An amazing brush.

That is exactly what I need to do. I have too many favorites.

One day, I hope to own an Oscar11 brush.

Yeah. I thought it looked like his handiwork. They are great brushes.

Yeah, I've seen a nice Oscar11 badger on here before. I think @Bobcat may be the owner.
I had one for a few years, but I traded it back for two remarkable brushes. Part of me didn't want to, but it helped my friend have a matching brush and straight razor. So I need to aquire another one in the future

I do still have my GDCarrington Brush I won a couple years ago in a PIF. It is amazing as well.

I am on his list. Here's hoping.

Here is my family picture. All are boar bristle brushes except for the right most SheaMoisture brush. It has a black badger knot.

Nothing high-end in my collection. All bought new by me except for the Rubberset (second from the left) which was my Dads' brush.
Most expensive brush is probably the Ever-Ready (2nd from right), but I can't remember what I paid for it new. The rest were all under $10.
Only 2 brushes are missing. One is a generic brush I got with some shave butter, and may be a horse hair brush. The other is a SheaMoisture Synthetic knot.
They work good though.

Good looking group of brushes.

Awesome brush family photos, gentlemen! Keep 'em coming!

Good thread Charlie.

I have a serious case of BAD as evidenced by the photo below.

Excellent photograph of great looking brushes Clint. Congratulations.

Thanks Doug. That is the first time I have had all the brushes out at one time.

Very good wide angle picture.

Thanks. It is fun to look at the variety of brushes owned by members of this forum.

An Aristocrat (left) & a Nobility (right): The Aristocrat is pure badger while the Nobility is boar.

Great photo! Very well laid out.

My vintage brush collection (mostly made in England)

Turned the bull loose, apparently.

Great shot.
