Your favorite shaving brush.

Gents :

whats your favorite shaving brush,that one that you will take to an desert island or wish to keep forever?.Or whats the brush you let it go and now you are regretting it?

Ok,as Im typing this,I cant think of only one brush,so lets say,your favorite 3 shaving brushes,doesnt matter if they are boar,badger,horse or synthetic.

My list :

1.Semogue LE 2010.
2.Vie Long 20mm silvertip
3.Rooney 1/1 silvertip

and I do regret selling some brushes like a Simpson Duke 2 and Commodore X1,which were perfect for face lathering.

What about you,gents?

My List:

Semogue SOC 2-Band badger
Semogue 1305

I'm quite pleased with all the brushes I currently own, really, but those two really stand out.

1. Muhle 21mm Kosmo Brush (which Ridgerunner has).
2. Muhle Black Fibres (which Yohann has)
3. Frank Shaving Synthetic (which I have)

The one brush I regret giving up was my Simpsons Colonel. I miss that brush terribly. The handle and knot were perfect.

This!!!
Even used it today... pretty close to perfection!

This is truly a difficult decision to make but here goes,

Simpson Classic 1 Best
Simpson Chubby 2 Best
Simpson Eagle G2 Pure

I'm a bit remissed about not including some of my Semogues which I love too.

Hmm. Well I'll try....

1.Simpsons Keyhole 3 in Best
2.M&F Horn 27/54 Blonde
3.Semogue Caravela

1) Semogue LE 2010 Boar
2) Semogue Caravela
3) M&F Blond Badger (Gen 1 hair)

Granted I only have a small handful of brushes, but...

My best brush performance wise is my Vie-Long 14033 mixed horse-badger.
My favourite brush is my Turkish No6 though... just love that cheap horse hair

My list:

#1. Simpson Rover (Best)
#2. Rooney 3/1 Super has once again become a favorite after seeing no use for a year and almost being sold.
#3. Undecided. Several are in the running.

1.Duke 3
2. SOC 2 Band

Duke 3 Two Band
Duke 2 Two Band

That's an easy one for me =

My 80's Plisson HMW 14. Hands down the best brush I have ever used.

1. Semogue LE 2010 Badger

2. Semogue SOC Boar

3. Semogue LE 2011 Boar

I had a Duke 2 in best badger that I whish I had not sold.

This one. Homemade 2 band finest, 28mm knot.

I only have 3 brushes in my rotation and I like them all , so here they are in no particular order:

Semogue 830
Whipped Dog Silvertip
Lions Head Silvertip

Here are mine:

1. M&F 26x51 L7 (jade handle) 2-band fan
2. M&F 1/2 2-band
3. Tie between my Chubby 2 in best and my 23mm Shavemac D01 3-band

I'm pretty sure it's this one.
A Simpson 57 2 band. The limited edition " Douglas".

I seem to reach for it unless I take time to think which of the other two dozen brushes might be a better choice.

The number choice is a vintage Kent KS5 reknotted with TGN Finest.

Kinda hard to pick just 3 but, in no particular order, they are

Omega 636 Silvertip
Rooney 3/1 Super silvertip
Vie- Long Silvertip (can't remember the designator on this one)

I made this one, and regret selling it. The antler was easy to grip and the knot was very attractive.
