Looks like you are a Chubby fan; the Dukes are the best value in the universe and every Den should have a favorite size to be complete.

All badgers.

Churchilllafemme, that is a stunning collection of Simpson brushes.

Which brushes are your favorites, or perhaps phrased differently, which brushes do you use most frequently?

Actually, I use them all equally, rotating them according to a schedule. There are a few custom brushes and Rooneys mixed in there, too, and I think the brushes I like the most are the Rooney Finests and the Somerset Simpson Manchurians.

When I showed this picture to SWMBO, all she said was, "Don't you dare".

She might get used to the idea. My wife has said, "I'm glad it keeps you happy. There could be much worse hobbies."

For a moment I didn't realise that this is a mirror image. Nonetheless it's a gorgeous collection and I'm sure it'll blow SWMBO's mind. She can't figure out why I collect vintage and modern fountain pens (I'm closing in on 150) and shudders at the thought of my cultivating another AD.

I have 8 David Carter era Simpson brushes...those 8 cause me 'overload' anxiety!

Bryan, look closely and they're 2 deep on the shelves!

Sometimes I think I have too many with my few!

Peter is in a league of his own!

I can't take my eyes off the brush sitting upside down on the stand just to the left of the faucet. Plisson Ivory, possibly? If Peter says I can borrow one just for a moment, that would be the one I'd love to hold and admire. Peter, well done, man!

Oh my god, they are; I hadn't noticed. SWMBO will really freak out when I tell her this is the colletion I aspire to have.

And...ummmm...it's only about 40% of the whole herd...

But rest assured, i do my best to downsize my collection...
