Thread: Antique Brushes?

I have a local Antique shop that brings in a TON of shaving razors and brushes... But the brushes are in excellent condition original handles all good quality badger, however is it frowned upon to buy and use a used brush?... thoughts? should I pick some up? they're very cheap, 15 bucks a pop...

Pick one up. Clean it and use it.......pics required of course........

Have fun

Im headed there later today, My friend and I(hes a gentlemen of fine taste as well) are each going to buy one clean em and post em... pics to be coming later - Side note the brushes are 50-80 years old each and in excellent condition.

Take some pics of what you leave behind as well. I would like to make the trip down to check out your local store if you would be kind enough to send me the address.

yeah I left my number with this gentlemen to phone me whenever he gets new razors, brushes or strops/paddle strops in, which is quite frequently. Ill take some pics, its the best selection of shaving equipment I've seen in an antique store. Problem is wood carvers come to his store to take the steel for carving... its almost a travesty i can just imagine the razors they've destroyed just for the steel...

Update :

Brushes I Left behind :



What I Bought:




Also took pictures of his razors for you and will post them in the proper place, He also has many antique shaving mugs/scuttles which i snapped photos of.

@ Fatnash I can also notify you when he receives new products, Ill PM you the address and anyone else in the area that would like it.

Thanks for all the info
