If you replace yours after every use, then go for it!
If you keep a more traditional schedule of toothbrush replacement, I'd strongly suggest one brush per person per month. You might get away with one brush per 2 people per month, or one brush per person per up to 3 months, but not both.
That's what big tooth brush wants you to think. If you use mouth wash after you brush, like you are supposed to, it sanitizes your whole mouth.
That's what someone in the pockets of big mouth wash would say.
The use of mouthwash contributes to the evolution of resistant bacteria. Mouthwash should be used sparingly, only for when it's needed (i.e. medically).
The use of mouthwash also nearly negates the use of a flouride-based toothpaste.
