Thread: How many brushes do I need???

You gotta be kidding with that question right? How many razors do you need? How many strops do you need? How many soaps do you need? yada, yada yada.

You only need one of everything. RT is correct. How many of everything do you want?

You only need one. I have 5. A C&E badger, a Rooney Silvertip (thanks Izlat), and 3 Omega boar (1 large, 2 medium). About the only ones I ever use anymore are the Rooney and one of the medium Omegas.

I only have two, a Burma Shave and a
Vulfix silvertip. I'm wanting more but
fighting the desire. Hope I can win out.

Thinking the money would be better spent
on a razor(s).

Damn this addiction.

Well I dont have BAD, I would like one more brush from Matter eventually when I am working again, because I think they are pretty, and I want to feel what the best quality badger hair feels like. But I really meant need not want, I just was wondering if the life span of the brush suffers much if used more often, or if it is an even ratio between use and wear regardless of the time in between uses.

My guess is a good quality brush would
last for many many years if properly
cared for. I mean whats the bristles
touching? Skin and soap.

The weakest link in your brush is the glue/epoxy. Proper care and you may find you are using it 20 years from now.
