This is a topic that is frequently discussed on the forum. Our forebearers managed with one brush until it died. I think it should be pointed out that they saw shaving as a necessary evil. Today wet shavers see it as a source of pleasure. So, how many brushes?
If you want to be an absolute minimalist and at the lowest cost, I would say two boar brushes to give the brushes time to dry properly between shaves.
Personally, I have come to the conclusion that my standard is a seven day set. I have one brush for each day of the week. I used to shave Monday through Friday, but now I shave every day. Probably to justify buying two new brushes, besides the fact that I throughly enjoy my shaving routine.
My set is composed of two horse, two badger silvertip, two boar, and one synthetic. I enjoy the feel offered by the different types of hair. This way I use all my brushes and avoid having brushes lying idle.
