Thread: How many brushes do I need???

If you only have one, I would consider getting a stand so that it has a better chance to dry out overnight.

Ya I have a stand and it is never wet when I go to use it again, it dries bristles down and works great.

I have three, a Taylor's Best Badger that I've had for six years or so now, another badger hair of questionable provenance from Target ($7 on clearance for the set including razor, brush, and stand... I figured I could at least use the stand), and an Omega. The Omega, though, is now left at the GF's house. The Taylor is a great workaday brush, but I think I "need" something better.

I'm eying a Shavemac, or maybe a Simpson... Or maybe both.

Yes... It is inevitable.

I am using my Vulfix badger brush for over a year now exclusively and it looks as good as on the day I got it...

Man, I'm still using my AOS sampler pack brush.... 400 brushes, thats insane!

I was debating on getting a superior brush for XMas, or just cheaping out and getting a C&E brush. Right now I can't imagine my AOS cheapie lasting too long, especially with my travel schedule and the pill container its currently bouncing around in!

Thats my travel brush, it holds up pretty well for travel, but it isnt a great brush.

Hey JL, do you think I should get the $35 C&E brush, or just plunk down the $65 and get a superior best brush? In your opinion, do you think the difference between the two is that noticable? Thanks in advance!

Sorry for the threadjack!

Well you guys made me do it! I went and won a bid on a Best Badger brush from Matt. I don't know if I payed to much but it seemed fare from what I have seen around.
