I am about to embark on a five-month stay in France which requires that I put a hold on my SBAD. SWMBO suggests that I bring stuff that I wouldn't care to leave behind and this strikes me as a good idea. So I have tentatively settled on three Vie-Long horse/badger brushes of various sizes, in order to keep things austere. And given the preponderance of brush types available today, this has led me to wonder about what kind of shaving brushes might have been available in the Soviet Union, in Soviet times, or the Soviet bloc more generally. Was the selection generally austere, or were "high-end" models allowed as well?
