Thread: Using just one brush?

I have 3 brushes now. H&J Badger, and second two are Omega boar brushes. Use only Omega brushes.

I'm still a n00b, so I only own one... for now. I got the silvertip knot and handle (separately) from the Golden Nib. A little epoxy later and I love it!

Feels great against my face; not scratchy at all!

Gents,

Still using a "Velo" boar brush, but one "MecDarment" pure Badger is coming my way.
Very interested in knowing/feeling the difference between a "Boar" and "Badger" hair brush

I only have one badger brush, a Kent BK2, and have used it every day for nearly two years. If I ever wear it out, which doesn't seem likely, I may upgrade to a BK4.

Gentlemen:

I have 12 brushes, which I rotate in a regular pattern. They include three silver tips, an assortment of badger grades, three boars and a synthetic.

The silver tips work better with creams, and the rest with soaps.

Does one need more than one brush? No, not really, but it's nice to spoil one's self occasionally.

I collected and used a lot of brushes for my shaving brush blog. I still have and use most of them from time to time. It's real fun deciding which one to use each day. I don't often use one more than two days running. As always in life - each to his own!

bookmarked your blog-very interesting-thanks for sharing!
regards
Tom

My omega boar brush is used mostly all the time, i do every now and then throw my vulfix badger into use, but after a day or 2 i want my boar brush back, i do use a cream/soap rotation, and a de/straight rotation, but almost entirly the 1 brush.

Gents,

This arrived last week:


Also saw a post about a forum member who purchased a "Kimson" brush. Would be interested in such a brush as well......

One brush for home, vulfix super badger,
one brush for cottage, vulfix pure badger....too much sand at the cottage (everywhere....there is sand everywhere!) for a nice brush.

they both work just fine....and the less brushes I own, the more strops and razors I can afford. (That's what keep telling myself anyway).
