    Sabbath and Ozzy are pretty much synonymous for me, even though each went their own way for a while.
    Electric Eye or Screaming For Vengence?
    Breaking the Law or You've Got Another Thing Coming?
    Just for kicks, here is a taste of some British Steel for you!

    If you like what you have I’d say you have enough. Otherwise you’ll likely buy another and not like it more than one you have. Unless you have BAD , in which case you love the chase. I have about 15 brushes spread across the three types and am really set IMO. Boars and badgers are my favorite, with synthetic for travel and variety.
    @PLANofMAN is right about letting them rest on occasion.

    Boar fan, you need a Semogue 620 and 1438!

    Back in the days before I developed acquisition disorders I would typically own one brush (and one razor, one soap, one ASB). I would lather up with it every day. With daily use they would usually last a period of years before they needed replacing. (I never did keep track of how long they lasted). My father did the same...and I am sure his father before him. The idea of own multiples of anything besides blades would seem foolish.

    I've got a 1305 that works well. It was broken in when I received it 2nd hand. As far as Semogue goes it a Ford/Chevy thing. I like Omegas. If you don't yet, get yourself am Omega Pro #10098!

    I used a semogue 1438 for about 5 years before I "upgraded" to a 620. The paint was coming off, and the handle was starting to split. It's the only brush I've gotten rid of that was functionally still fine. Five years of daily use for a brush that was (at that time) $15, isn't bad. It's only been in the last seven years or so that I've enjoyed multiple brushes.

    And what did you use for soap during those 5 years, primarily the same soap daily, or a variety?

    This is one tray of mine... There are another ten I consider personal. I’ve got another thirty plus in stages of restoration.

    Then I’ve got around eighty unassigned brushes.

    I think if you know how many, it's not too many.

    Welcome to TSD @Mark Curtis! I'm off to visit your post in The Welcome Center. We need members like you so we can point and tell our Significant Others, " See? I've only got less than three dozen. Look at this Guy!"
