Thread: Vintage brushes

A good thread topic sir. The Hess brushes pictured here came from a good friend who is into all things HESS. Made in W. Germany they are sloppy floppy fun. 3 Stooge sound effects are capable when using these brushes. They will whomp up tons-o-suds in a big scuttle.

The neck duster and brush in the middle are used for applying talc after a shave. The Rubbersets and Ever Ready will work in a pinch with hard soaps.

Some nice pictures in this thread.

Alas when I started this wet shaving thing I had to make a choice. Would I collect razors or brushes and the razors won out.

I like to rehab things like vintage brushes and razors. Collecting just seems to happen but it is not collecting in the pure sense that everything has to NOS or even rare. That makes it a little more affordable to do both.

This Ever Ready 150 Brush does not look like much but it is one of my favorites. With strong backbone and soft tips it is a great latherer.

I'm sorry, but I can't wait for my HARRYWALLY brush to become vintage!
It's the best brush on the planet for me.

1978 Chicago Professional Shaving Products brush & mug. Handle was dyed black hiding the beautiful wood grain. 22mm x 50mm HMW knot.
