I have not used any of the 5 on the left-I just got them yesterday. Some of them are going to my brother-haven't decided which ones yet-probably the Big Kent (butterscotch) and the lucite/white one. Of the ones on the right it's a tough call but the butterscotch one in the very middle is probably my fave-it's a vintage Simpson's with a silvertip know. I love the look of the pink one and it's also a silvertip which does a very nice job. The fan shaped one at the far right does very nice job with soaps-I think it's super badger. I don't dislike any of em.
Wow you must have a better brother than me if your going to give him a simpsons butterscotch. As thats s great looking brush.
Very Nice! May I ask how much he charges to do a brush? I have one I want done but don't want to screw up learning how to restore.
