Thread: I need help...

Hi all,

Over the past couple of months I have been on a bit of a spree and have been trying a variety of brushes.

Here is my current collection (excluding my boars).

Left to right: Rooney 1/1 Super, Simpsons Duke 3 Best, Rooney Stubby 2, Simpsons Chubby 2 Super, Rooney Alibaba 2, Rooney 3/1 (with a much higher loft than is normal...), Savile Row 3122 Silvertip, Somerset Simpsons Polo 8 in Best.

Now, due to financial requirements, I want to sell off most of these. The Chubby 2 is the most expensive, and if I decide to keep that I will sell all the others. If I decide to keep more than one, I will sell the Chubby.

So.... your combined wisdom and expertise would be very welcomed in helping me decide. I love them all, and really could be happy with any one of them, to be honest.

I may even list them all on the BST and keep the last one to sell!

I face lather pretty much exclusively with soaps, but I do use creams occasionally (also face lathered).

Regards,

John

To be utilitarian, you can get away with just the one brush.

So I'd sell the others and keep the one you really like.

Yeah, you have problems.

I like a smaller knot brush ... but that is me.

Let me know when you are going to sell ... I might have an interest.

I would keep maybe one larger one and one smaller one top of the lines and sell all the others.

Agreed. I would really hate to only have one brush, although I'm confident that I could.

I will never part with my Chubby 2. In fact that's probably the only brush you'll ever need. YMMV and all that jazz off course.

I would keep which ever one you already reach for the most often -- since it has proven , either consciously or subconsciouly, to be the one you enjoy most -- and sell the rest.

(...with the possible exception of also hanging onto the cheapest of the bunch as well to use as a travel brush... if you travel often enough to make it worthwhile.)

OK, Now since you have them all lined up at attention, you got to give us a comparison chart between them all and cost sheet, maybe. I might be interested even your least liked brush. I just buy an economic boar brush, so I am sure that does not even compare. A dozen bristles, on first try, came out already.
