The five brushes that I right now tend to use the most, which is obviously likely to change at any time, are - in no particular order;
1) Edwin Jagger Georgian
Just something about this brush. Absolutely love the shape and it's semi-floppy knot (thanks again @N_Architect
)
2) Jayaruh #91
Synthetics are not normally on the top of my list but the wonderful handcarved brush by Jayaruh on TSD earned itself a top spot
3) Any of my NF brushes.
Love them all.
4) My LeTuft in two-band badger
5) B-Chub in steel by @twhite510
Fantastic balance and shape.

I have a few hobbies which all soak up the cash. So sad as it may be my favourite brushes are all homemade, plus one or two cheap one that perform bloody well.

Yes mate but this brush isn't going anywhere.
Joking aside. It's my favorite brush by some margin.

Oh well may as well share my four faves.
Left to right. Shavemac 26mm unique fan in Woodturningzs Black/Gold resin PK-47 style, Vladimir Ferdmann 30mm 2 band finest TGN in Ivory/pearl butterscotch, Vladimir Ferdmann 28mm 2 ban finest TGN in Ever Ready style red,russet and gold resin, Shavemac 26mm unique fan in Snowman style Abyss Woodturninz resins.
My fave though the Ivory. I really prefer the two band finest to the Silvertip knots. They are cheaper but you lose nothing in quality to a Silvertip in terms of softness. The backbone is better though.
