One brush...

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!

Probably my Simpson Duke 2 in Best, not because its my favorite, but because something tells me its going to last the longest of all my brushes.

I have only one brush, a Plisson #24 HMW set in plexiglass, vintage early '80s, bought NOS in 2005.

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.
