Great collection! Althought I do love Ever Ready brushes, the stand out brushes there are the Macy, Valet and the Mohawk.

Beautiful brushes chaps but can we see more Butterscotchies, please? I get all wet seeing the real McCoy vintage English ones from Simpsons, Kent, Rooney and Vulfix. Culmak too.

Thanks, they are certainly very much an 'acquired taste' so not everyone's cup of tea but I really enjoy them

Some of those knots look pretty good. Do you use any of them? If so how do they perform?

Nice collection by the way.
