Show us your stable of shave brushes...

7B946438-D5C9-4025-ADC6-2B5C2CB2029C.jpegWell, here’s my stable… it’s pretty full, too full to see them all. I’ve broken them out by maker/category in previous threads. But I’ve also added some since then, including 3 new Halloween Paladins.

This also doesn’t count the drawer of vintage handles ready for re-store/re-knot, or my vintage handles on display in my shave museum.
 
It’s hard to get all these on camera but here’s the state of things at this very moment.

Don't ask me, I just ordered 2 from Sorrentino Brushworks plus I just got one the other day too. I still don't have as many as those who have posted in this thread, but I really like the ones I have for different reasons.

Actually, I suppose the answer is 1. You don't "need" more than 1, but there is no joy in that.

I think all of us probably have a different number at different times. When i first started I used the same 1 brush for about the first 4 years of wet shaving. In the second 4 years I probably bought 4 new brushes, and in the past year and a half I have gotten about 8 new brushes. It seams to be escalating.
 
Ok, I broke it all down so you can see everything (*almost).

So that’s puts me at 64 brushes actively in my den (although, there’s a couple I couldn’t find, so at least a couple more). Here’s the stable put back together.

Here’s the drawer of project handles….. (I may get to them after I retire)

And the shelf of brushes in my museum.

And there’s still several brushes that didn’t make it into the pics!
