Brush of the day.

I have to wonder whether you hold the record for the most number of brushes owned? Your collection is amazing, and seemingly a brush for every new day! Makes my 4 (soon to be 5, Yaqi Moka Express Mew Brown incoming) seem positively austere by comparison, just when I was thinking 5 was overkill. I'll have to do a BoTD at some point, although only 2 of mine are interesting (and even then, only if you're not anti-synth). My natural brushes are fairly cheap and utilitarian. I still like them though, and wonder what a really good example of badger or boar might offer over and above the ones I have. For pampering softness the synthetics win every time. My cooking badger is fairly soft but has a hint of scritch, the boar (cheap Men-ü) has a bit more presence and is good for hard soap and "hair shirt days".

I do like the Cavern Lake colours. Love that illuminated brush rack! Really shows off the resin handles a treat.
