Here are a few pics of a Eagle razor I have it has no brassing at all it looks to have been never used .The brush is still soft, its hard to find brushes and razors like this now days in this condition still in a set.I have used this razor 1 time and shaved great I just couldnt bring myself to use the brush.
You can trim a modern S/E blade, re-spine it and use it in an Empire razor.Works surprisingly well.Did you shave with the original blade?
