Weird bit of brush history
The odd-looking brush you see here was given to me by a 50-y.o. co-worker. His uncle, who was an inventor, designed these travel brushes which carry shaving cream in the handle. When you twist the butt-end of the handle, it turns a screw mechanism which dispenses a bit of cream into the bristles.
It might have been a good idea except for a couple of design flaws. First was the use of nylon bristles. Second was the lack of a mechanism to squeeze the bristles together so you can get the cap back on. The instructions, which are folded up in the lid, say to use a small rubber band (!)
Anyway, the product flopped so the guy has several hundred of these in a box in his attic.
