Thread: If you could only use one brush for the rest of your shaves...which would it be?

It would be my Dan Capshaw 28mm silvertip. It's an awesome brush! Absolutely stuffed to the gill's with badgerey goodness.
I've been wanting to try a big Plisson one day though, so it would be a shame to miss that.

Rooney Heritage Victorian

Expensive, but the best brush I've used (Kent B4, Simpson Chubby, super-large Vulfix, Simpson Polo...)

Simpson Polo 10 - 2 band

I have only two brushes, one I purchased and another I restored. I would definitely choose the restore. I don't know if its the nostalgia of it, my own efforts in restoring it, or kind of strange but all the same in that some guy used this brush a long time ago. I changed the bristles of course, silvertip 28mm maybe.

Semogue 1305 boar.

Once I get a Semogue 2000 boar and 1520 boar, I'll be able to answer the question a little better.

But I may never get them, I'm so happy with my Semogue 1305.

Two answers,,,, Sorry:

1. First choice would be an old Simpson handle that I put a Golden Nib pure badger knot into, but that means littel to most cause it's not a comercial available brush.
2. Second, would be a Rooney 3/1 in Best.

+1 on the Rooney 3/1. It's only my 3rd brush but I love it and don't see the need to go anywhere else.

Surprised at the lack of Shavemac brushes here

21mm Shavemac D01 in Genuine horn w/ a 50mm loft, best brush I've ever used

Well, theoretically..... a vintage Simpsons Chubby 2 butterscotch handle, with a Shavemac Finest re-knot.
