    Humm reading this makes me think.

    If this place goes well maybe a TSD brush is in order????? (if only you can see the evil grin on my face).

    But now that I say it I just may have to be heading the project. :rolleyes: ;)

    Omega Boar Brush -- very rarely use this one. A little too scrubby for my tastes.

    C&E Best Badger Brush 20mm -- my favorite soap making brush. I would prefer slightly softer, but I don't think it would be as good at making soaps explode with lather. I use this brush once every week or so.

    Vulfix 2235 Super Badger 23mm -- my first Badger brush when I started wetshaving again [mid 2005]. Slightly floppy, but oooh so soft. Great cream brush. Still in my rotation; love the extra long handle. A great value in a brush!

    Savile Row 3120 Silvertip 20mm -- soft on the face, surgical precision, great on soaps or creams. The smallest brush I would ever want, handle a little small for large hands.

    ShaveMac 22579 Silvertip 23mm -- my go to brush! Soft on the face, superb cream brush, creates exploding lather. Probably the largest brush I would want. Love the faux horn handle, just the right size.

    Shave Brush Wish List -- Savile Row 3722 & 3824. C&E Super Badger. Possibly even a Kent or Simpson.

    PottyDoctor....who started out looking for a brush & ended up with a new hobby [aka disorder, obsession]???

    :D The only problem with starting a thread like this is that I feel a case of SBAD coming on.

    Yup. I've got it! Bad. While eagerly awaiting my TOP brush, I really have the desire for a BK4 (after browsing the Kent thread) or I have thought about a Shavemac. Hmmm.....

    What are you? A mind reader? My sister sent me a gift certificate last month for Bayside Brush Co. While they are HIGH on their Kent prices, they have Altesse brushes on there that seem more reasonable. Only thing is, I haven't heard ANY buzz about Altesse, even over at TOP.

    1 Men-u barbiere boar
    Not bad. A bit smelly.

    2 cheapo boar brushes (one is very ratty from use, but super soft)
    I love the ratty one. Makes great lather.

    On the way:
    Men-u Premier synthetic brush


    And that's it. I'm not planning on buying any more. . .I think.:D
