I have about 7 brushes and to tell you the truth I couldn't pick a top anything. They all perform great. Maybe my custom brush with the Elephant ivory handle I wouldn't include because it's just too floppy for me. It's more a showpiece.

Wow, this is challenging. Well, at the moment, here is my list in no particular order:
Frank Shaving synthetic 24/48mm ( just for what it can do, how it feels and how cheap it was)
Rooney Heritage Stubby 1XL
Chubby 1 two-band
Vie-Long BGS 2012 natural horse hair Butterscotch Beehive

I only use five brushes, so this one's pretty easy:
Thäter 49125/0
Vie Long 12705 horse hair
New Forest two-band
Small Plisson pure
Semogue 1460
Pretty much in that order.

I don't even own 5 brushes. My go to brush is a Dubl Duck Boar with original knot. I have a couple other vintage brushes, but they are waiting for new knots. I have been seriously thinking about trying one of those Semogue brushes though.
