I have spent the past year dealing with a bad case of SBAD. While my 18 brushes are only 10% of DrP's collection, each was carefully chosen and I have learned a lot about what I like in a shaving brush. I find brushes to be one of the most fun aspects of our hobby because there are so many different options and each one is different from the next making it a unique work of art. The main ...
I have 4 that I use regularly;
Shavemac 177 Silver Tip
Shavemac 436 Silver Tip
Simpson Chubby 2 Best Badger
Badger & Blade Essential
Got probably 7 more brushes, boar & badger, that I haven't used in a while.
I have to agree, there are so many nice guys here and it all goes around. I have sent items PIF to the US and had offers to obtain things I could not get here. It is really heartwarming twhen someone does something that nice for no reason other then to help.

I didnt get in on the poll, but I've got 3. My first, a Vulfix PBB which is a sturdy great starter brush, my Shavemac 177 which I'm gradually coming to grips with the fact that its too big and my Simpsons Major Traveller in Best...which is an AWESOME travel brush! Still want a Chubby and of course, the LE 09.
