Hi gents, there are days, even weeks when you don't receive anything, and then there are days when three packages appear in the hands of father ch... the postman :

That's a pile of brushes!!
WOW, what a score! Good job.
Man! That is a LOT of old stuff. What on Earth shall you do with it?
I see some Dentabs there! :D
Cool stuff! but why so many of the same brush?
Perhaps instead of dancing, sharing?
Yes, please explain. Do you find a time capsule for sale?
Wow - that looks like an entire herd of Plisson Brushes....beautiful.
Those are Plisson's aren't they, what type of knot are they?
Good call, Andrew! Let's try em out! :yQuote:

Haha, thank you gents. Those shave sticks are not Poisson, they are not Plisson either they are Gibbs. Everything on the Gibbs picture is from Gibbs ;-) I got this lot on ebay.
The second picture are my hauls from a few ebay sales on ebay US, that a friend proxied me.
And as for the last picture, the brushes are all Plisson, and those come from a sort of estate sale, from a cutler's shop who went in retirement, but the old Lady proprietor let some stuff sleep in the shelves (these brushes date back from the 70s or 80s), and her granddaughter was asked to sell things here and there. A friend of mine got all the DEs, I don't know who got all the straights, but I got all the brushes ! Regarding the type of knot, nothing fancy, those were "entry level" Plisson, in medium sizes. Some handles didn't like waiting so long on the shelves that they got some cracks :/ Fortunately not all of them.
Nice stuff, as always, ive had a few things from you in the past via ebay, always nice items. enjoy what you keep. :)
Nice haul there!
You will be good on brushes for a bit.
My mail man was a complete failure today :mad:
Thanks ! :beer1:Quote:

Maybe because it was a french-shipping only ? I'll keep one of each, the doubles will be put on Etsy ;)Quote:
