Quite a collection!

Nice collection...i like the shelves as well

That's some very nice brushes!

Two things.

First I feel slightly impotent as I have only one... brush. A C & E BB, I hope to trade up to a BK4 or a similar Shavemac.

Second, is it creepy to anyone else but me that there exists a brush that was used by the Nazis? I get the historical significance, it is just creepy. I think for the sake of my Karma I would lock it in a black box and just put a note on it as to its contents. Nice collection though, kudos.

Are you sure its not just Buddhist?

Actually if I remember history and mythology the symbol was Hindu or you could be right in it being Buddhist. The Nazis took the wheel of life, which is what the symbol represents,and turned it around.

Some of my favorite brushes

Yes it is used in Buddhism(I know when I was a kid I played a Japanese video game where it was on items in it.)

In Japanese it is called a Manji.(More specifically in the position shown in the picture) Here is the wiki page on it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swastika

I kind of feel like I'm getting ready to drive the lane to try and dunk over Yao Ming after what I have seen, but here is what I have.

Okay, I'll play... Just a little family so far:

PL8, Shavemac, Simfix PJ2, Rooney 3/1 Finest, Simpson PJ2

I'm going to play too.:laugh042 And hello everyone!

Are you related to a Dr P by any chance?

being celluloid, I doubt that it's Buddhist, or even Native American lol.

You're not alone. I have an eclectic collection, but I can only dream about some of these brushes. :drool

I may not have the line up you guys have but after two weeks I think I am doing pretty good
