I have a Simpson PJ1 in Super Badger I would like to sell/trade. For some reason I just like my Berkeley in Best Badger better. The PJ1 seems firmer, so better for face-lathering, and has a hint of scritch to it. I prefer a nice, plush, softer brush for creams (for some reason, my Berkeley feels softer..?). So, I'm offering it for trade. I have a few things I'm looking for right now that have really caught my eye. So, I'll list everything out, and let me know if you'd like to buy the Simpson, or make the trade.
I'm interested in (in order of interest, most-to-least):
Straight razor kit, ready to shave. No honing necessary. Including strop and balsa. Basically a Whipped Dog kit, really. I'm a newb, so I don't want to worry about honing, yet. But, I'm really interested in trying straights.
Truefitt & Hill 1805 shaving cream/soap and aftershave
Additional DE razors to try. Maybe a vintage Gillette? (Not blades, but actual razors.)
Other soft brushes, boar or badger.
A nice fountain pen. I've become intrigued by FP's lately, and wouldn't mind giving them a try with something nicer than a cheap Pilot Plumix.
I realize that some of these items aren't as much as the brush I'm looking to trade, so multiple items may be combined to make a solid offer on the brush. If you don't have any/some of these items, I'm still interested in a sale. I'd like $80 for it, or some combination of cash and trade. Pics below.
I've never made a post like this before, so mods, let me know if I need to correct/change anything to stay within guidelines for BST.
