    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

    Regards,

    RazorBack

    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.

    Default Using one brush . . .

    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.

    Regards,
    Obie

    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!

    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).
