    I think one of the coolest things to have multiples of is high end shaving brushes. You hear about Simpson Super and Manchurian, Plisson HMW, Rooney Finest, Thater 2 band and wonder what the fuss is about. Get different brands with maybe different style handles, lofts, knot diameters, and you'll find out what the fuss is about, and also determine what your preferences really are in a brush. With brushes you don't know till you try.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    RazorCut I have been looking at them, I got 1/4 Nortons for Christmas, I know there is tons of debate over those but they do work. A nice finishing stone is always on my mind for sure

    JimmyHAD, I have been looking at brushes when I bought my gear from SRD I ordered a Beaufort Simpson brush and really like it and I have considered trying a different brush. There are so many to choose from, I have several in my cart and then I delete one and add another. It is like when I get to buy a new gun I always have like 10 I want then I have to choose and that sucks.

    I can't believe no one has suggested that you get more razors yet!
    You only have 2???
    Try some different brands, grinds and widths.

    Lol yes I have 2 straights and now 3 DE. I am always looking and as tcrideshd suggested I am always looking at custom ones. As far as in the wild I have not found any that are not honed out junk but I look when ever I am out and about. But a custom one I think about it just can not afford that just yet. Thanks for all the suggestions guys, I am thinking a new brush or scuttle might be coming my way as soon as I decide which I want more.
