How many?

Right now I just have the el cheapo Tweezerman Pure Badger I got in the beginning. As I am now committed to the wetshaving lifestyle, I will be ordering a C&E BBB next week (along with a brush stand, a Moss Scuttle, some more shaving creams & soaps, and possibly a Merkur HD 34C).

Wasn't wetshaving supposed to be CHEAPER than shaving with cartridges and pressurized foam!? I find myself spending considerably more!

Still, it is well worth the money. Shaving is now a luxury way to pamper myself, instead of a necessary, but painful evil.

 

In theory, yes. In reality, this passion is dipping into my retirement fund :ashamed001.

 

I'm already scheming as to how, exactly, I'm going to "cook the books" to hide next month's expenditures from my wife.

Sadly, she's very smart. I seriously doubt that I'll be able to sneak anything past her.

 

Sneaking shaving gear is an art form. It takes a long time to develop this skill. Practice, practice, practice...

 

Started with a synthetic going to a best badger brush.

Just one, a little boar brush. I'm getting a silvertip and when I do the boar brush is getting PIFed and the silvertip will be my only brush.

 

hmmm, no pressure, though, huh?

 

of course not

 

Just enough for a rotation.

This is sad. I've got well over 20 brushes in my stable. And I use 2-3 of them on a regular basis. Of course, I'm always on the road and seldom home.
