Thats a nice collection

This is my sober collection

From left to right;
1. Heinrich L. Thater 4292/6 B 28mm Two Band Finest Silver Tip Fan,
2. Golden Nib 30mm Sivertip Grade A (not used yet),
3. Golden Nib 30mm Black Badger,
4. Vie-Long Horse Hair Shaving Brush 14831M,,
5. Omega 27mm Boar Knot (used a few times but yet to be fitted),
6. My father's old metal Boar Brush (sentimental, not used anymore).

I'm finding I like to use 2 brushes. One to prepare and one to face lather. For the first I rotate through (no. 3-5, & soon 2) depending on the amount of scrubbing i want (with Somersets, Pre-Face Scrub), rinse, condition, hot towel (sometimes), rinse and ALWAYS finish with shave cream/soap and the presoaked warm Thater Brush. It's huge and it's the most awesome shaving brush I have tried yet...

Any suggestions to the one great synthetic to get?

That big Thater is killer.

all turned on my 1950's craftsman wood lathe

Very Nice

Woefully inadequate to be sure, but it's a start!
