Okay gents. I've been away for a while. Too long. I admit that the brush is my favorite part of the shave. I've gone from over 20 brushes down to just a few. What I want to know is one simple thing...regardless of the number of brushes in your stable, what is your one "go to" brush. I don't want to see a list of what you own...just the one brush you would keep if you could only keep one!

Now that I've gone almost exclusively to soaps, my Alibaba, medium.

Tough one to call since I seem to be going brushless more and more but if I had to have only one to use for the foreseeable future it would be my Vulfix 374 Super. Versatile, soft but dense and just the right size.

As much as I love my C&E Super Badger, I have to admit that the 1305 is a wonderful brush -- and the price is right as well! But then, I don't own any "premium brand" badgers -- I might feel different were I to own a Rooney, Kent or Simpson's.
My Simpson's 57 "Douglas" -- the custom 57 in two-band super brokered by Phil of BullGoose Shaving. It's hard to imagine a better knot, and I love the handle profile.
