Part of a $25 ebay lot. 1902 Kampfe Bros/Star. Shaves great. Also had a 4 piece german travel razor missing the smallest part of the handle and some worthless to me electric clipper heads.
That's funny. I have two of the metal cased German travel razors. One complete, but head is majorly pest. The other has a good head, but is missing the _largest_ part of the handle.
According to the Amazon tracking gizmo, my Mitchell's Wool Fat and Fine "American Blend" will be waiting when I get home. Winning!!
Good choices!! That's my weekly Friday software setup. I got that combo from a video that @Cap7597 did a while back. He remarked in the video "What's a week of shaving without the Fat?". I tend to agree. Great stuff!
BTW, I din't see this mentioned. It's not an Old Type its a New Improved. I'm not sure if that case is a match , but I don't think so. Gorgeous clean up!
I vote flat top badger though the Cashmere looks nice too, but ascetically, natural handle looks best with natural bristles. Just my opinion.
Nice haul! Im now addicted to old brushes but everyone seems to want so much for them where I am. Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk
There are a lot antique stores, and I find a ton of SE and straights but Im a DE for now. Whenever I find brushes they usually are 15-20 bucks sometimes more and not in the best shape. Find them for <10 every now and then. Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk
Oh ok. I generally pay 10 to 15 bucks for the ones i find but i only buy ones that are in good shape. To me if i can pay 10 bucks for the handle and another 10 to 15 for a knot im happy. 20 to 25 bucks for a piece of history and a good time is pretty cheap imo.
If I can get them under 10 Im fine with a rebuild. Just sucks to find a handle in nice shape but needs reknoted and they want 20 or they want 45 bucks for one in good shape. Stole this for 3 bucks but that's rare where I live. Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk
Yea i agree. Ive seen people ask 25 to 40 bucks for a old brush in bad shape. If i can get them for less than 15 im happy. I like to stay around 10 bucks but if i really like it ill go a little higher.
Congrats! I Love the wooden handle. And I'm always looking for vintage soap lol I never see any. I hear Colgate works well
