    Just missed the Wolf Whiskers wait list. So I won't be expecting a WW brush anytime soon. D'oh!

    That's a pretty wild guess, don't you think?

    I get a DFS in one pass every time and a BBS in two. YMMV. Let us know how it goes.

    Nice catch! Q: how can you tell that it's a '34? The News (or the one I have, at least) don't have date codes, do they?

    :thanks: that's what the listing says and it also has a reissue number on the bottom plate. Who knows with these things I'm just glad to grab a nice one. :)

    Can't wait to see what that looks like when you're finished restoring!

    I don't have any full-sized butterscotch handled brushes so when this came up I put in a bid of $24 and ended up getting it.
    The knot seems good enough to still use but will see when it gets here.

    The writing on it isn't completely legible but I can make out;
    One one side: Mayfair, Best Badger, Sterilized.
    On the other: Made in England - and then two rows of text I can't quite make out - followed by a <C> sign.

    I'm guessing it's a Vulfix brush re-branded to some retailer's store but if anyone can positively identify it I'd love to learn.

    Can't help you much, but the diamond with the 'C' is a government compliance stamp used on consumer goods during WWII, to ensure/mark that (IIRC) a special tax was paid because the brush (or other item) used materials that were deemed vital to the war effort.

    Thanks - that does help give it a rough date-range :)

    I've read some reviews of it and for being, supposedly, a rather flimsy razor a lot of people actually rather like them :)
    Here's a video review:
