oh, the mother of pearl brush is a original MUEHLE from 1950. The mother of pearl is from the lake next to the company building. MUEHLE itself has only 3 sample brushes of this kind in the company collection. I bought one unused from the son of a Russian soldier last year and send it back to MUEHLE for their museum.

And I was having trouble spending around the $100 price point.
Just checked out the Robb Report.
How about a $120,000 pen. What financial crisis????

This thread is perfect for another topic in brushes on this forum, asking your thoughts on why it really justifies in paying a ridicules price for just a brush, $15 compared to a $200 and over brush.

yes and a flask, full of Whiskey, for drowning my sorrows, for spending that kind of money on a shave brush.
Is a Montblanc pen worth 1000 dollars? Is any shaving brush worth more than 100 dollars? So many factors go into prices. The name. How it is made. The rarity. You can get silver tip badgers well below 100 dollars. Are the Stirling knock off scents any different than the original scents they mimic. Etc...
I clicked on it and saw the name Thirdeye. I had to do a double take to see make sure I wasn’t hallucinating.
I love resurrected threads. There are too many good threads here that have been forgotten, and the necro-posting bumps some good ones up to the top.
The whole "is it worth it?" thing fascinates me.

Springs and Stan the man concur..
On the flip side I wonder what’s the least amount anyone paid for a brush which turned out to punch well above its weight.

VDH boar brush. Bought it 15 years ago, use it everyday. $4
Wow. That's a workhorse.
I got a a Shavemac 177 on the BST for next to nothing and I use it everyday. It’s been so long I can’t remember the price. I got a boomerang from Australia when I sent a razor to a member. I didn’t want anything, but the member insisted I take something. It was pretty cool, had it for years in my office until one of the kids got hold of it. Unfortunately, it broke. Couldn’t shave with it but it had a good backstory.
I did use the same brush every day for about 18 months before sending it back to the manufacturer for analysis. I've used many since but will start emulating your approach a lot more. For starters I will go back to sticking with one brush. Thank you!
Returned for analysis?
It was a Simpson T3. I used it daily and I started receiving comments on my daily shaving posts. The top bristles in the centre of the brush resembled an eye of a Hurricane.
I sent some photos to Simpson. They replied that they’ve never seen one of their brushes look like that so they offered me a replacement in exchange. When the replacement arrived I gave it to one of my sons to get him started on his wet shaving adventures.
I don't know why zombie threads get a bad rep lol. I never look at the date on threads just the topics.
Think the Crazy Rich could have Brush with Dismonds Imbessed in Handle, or Elephant Ivory Handle with Scrimshaw.
But at what point does Brush stop becoming functional tool, and turn into functional art?
