Just happened to wander by an old shop, saw this and picked it up for $10.00...it's never been opened or used. Looks interesting, I'm not really a brush guy, don't know whether to keep it in the box and give it a try? These any good?
Thanks!

Phrank,,,It looks like a vintage brush & box,,, I would keep it in the box, but that's me,,, I like to collect brushes & most never see lather,,, just my way.
The brush us a cool find. It would be interesting to hear if they were quality brushes.
Compared to our modern usage the old brushes are quite floppy. Good quality and they hold up well. I like them and often use them. Just a matter of trying all shave stuff that I get my hands on. In the box its worth a good bit; used it may bring a pittance from a re-knotter. Bye the bye, if you soak some of them too long, the bristles expand and can split the handle...so does freezing a wet brush.
No bar code = before 1970. Price USD $1.79?
Nice collectable,not to be used.
Nice find ....glad you dont live near me, would be constant competition hahaha
Totally collectable Phrank. I would display it only. Plenty of other brushes to experiment with. I have some NOS stuff and fight the urge to try them often but I know if I do I will have users remorse :<0)
Richard,why would anyone freeze a wet brush???Quote:

YMMV!

We did wood heat through my freshman year of high school....miss it soooooo very little...
It was a Warm Morning coal stove I remember. It lived up to it's name, for one room LOL.

I lived in a big rock house right at snow level for a few years. Only had a pot belly stove for heat. Had to keep it stoked and warm or would be peeing ice cycles in the morning. No 2 day trips in the winter or would come back to a disaster. Frozen water pipes is a bummer. I really miss that place though.
Point....Anything in the house would freeze if it could.
I agree with Hirlau & everyone else here, I would keep it in the box & not use it. Great find Phrank!!!Quote:
