    Mühle Pinsel Best Badger
    Kent BK4
    Vulfix 1000 pure Badger
    Culmak Boar
    Omega Pure Badger-my first badger brush.

    I don't use the boar much - got it out of curiosity. The Kent is amazing, though.

    Nope, the age and Swastika make it appear more German.

    The swastika is also a Buddhist symbol. But the roman characters would make it more likely German

    The 'Manji' symbol in Buddhism actually goes the opposite way of the Nazi symbol. You can see the difference here [​IMG]

    I currently own three, but a fourth is on its way courtesy of another shaving forum.

    I own four.
    1. Simpson T3
    2. Plisson #14, HMW
    3. Rooney Style 3 Size 2, Finest
    4. Simpson Major Silvertip (for use when traveling)
    The three brushes in my regular rotation are all I need to make sure that each brush is very dry before I use it again. I personally would rather have three really high quality brushes than more mediocre ones. In my experience, three brushes work well to optimize the life of each brush. I rinse and shake out each brush very well after each use. My brushes never shed bristles.

    I have 3, a Rooney nos 3/1, a generic best badger and a VDH boar. Strangely I find myself using the VDH boar 3 out of 5 days and the generic badger the rest of the time. Hardly ever use the Rooney, it feels to big for me.

    Maybe I should get rid of the Rooney and get ?????

    I'm now at 1 badger and 3 boars. I just added an Omega Professional to my growing den.

    I now plan on restoring a few old Ever Ready's.
