Nice collection and very well displayed!
I was wondering about that, they look like ceramic, and with the gold striping they remind me of beer steins... Very cool brushes!Quote:

That's real nice. I gave up on badger brushes for travel. I got one for about $40 and it was so flimsy and mushy that I was lathering with the nub. The other one was a regular brush stored in a perforated pprescription bottle and it stunk. When I tried to kill the smell I killed the brush. For travel I now use an $18.50 boar brush from Imperial Shaving and it can take the rigors of travel. I'll just confine badger use to shaving at home.Quote:

They're all nice but I like the handle style of your father's brush. Omega sure seems to give the most value.Quote:
