Probably Boar bristles (dyed to resemble badger). Nice find. If you don't like those bristles, it would be a fairly simple project to replace them with a nice badger knot.
OK, here we go. Thanks to Natchez I got my hands on this BEAST! I measured the bottom of the knot at the handle at a whopping 34mm. I am looking forward to restoring this once I find a knot worthy of the handle;
This will be my first brush handle that was anywhere near worthy of a restore that I have gotten my hands on.

^^Cool!^^ I have the small version of that Kent handle style.

I just flew back into Australia yesterday (and boy are my arms tired...) after a month long vacation. I can't tell you how hard I had to fight the AD's while I was away, those hotel bills are really a killer when you travel for that long.
Here are some of the little things I did pick up.
Some Arko and Clubman from Pastuer's Pharmacy in NY. Two cheap items I have been wanting to try but have not been worth the cost of posting internationally.
Some Euro Palmolive from London. Same deal, not worth posting but I'll stock up when near the source.
An Alcatraz shaving mug.
A nice butterscotch handle for restore, found by SWMBO. (She's getting the hang of this...)
And a Ivory scaled Jaques Lecoultre frameback from a flea market in Manhattan. The seller had a half dozen razors I wanted, but my budget being what it was, this seemed like the pick of the litter.
Jaques Lecoultre framebacks are some of the BEST shaving razors once you've got them dialed in - you did well!

Marvelous brush!
Just received my Trufitt and Hill sampler pack in the mail, all bundled in a nice velvet pouch, which is a nice touch. 16 samples of all their goodies including aftershave and preshave oil. It's $10, but with a B&B discount, it's $8.50...and free shipping!
+1 i'm still using my from months ago...i pull them out when i go camping in the trailer, pack up a few matching creams/lotions and enjoy them for 2 shaves per package.
when i run out, i'll be ordering more

Hey, that seems like a pretty good deal. I think I'll be ordering that....
Got some stuff from the Good Oil company in Australia. They used to be known as Marijuana Moisture... They are the ones behind the Hemp Shaving Stick. I got some sticks and some bar of bath soap. I don't think they indicate all the ingredients on their website but I will try what we shouldn't do, use a bath soap as a shaving soap. I got 3 different "flavours" I find them a bit expensive but that's me... The bars are supposed to last 4 time longer than a regular bar of soap...
Every item is 90 grams.
Shaving stick: Peppermint scented
Soaps: Lavender, Lemon-myrtle and Bush Rose. The rose is actually very nice... If I can't use them as is, I might try to melt with an unscented glycerin soap and see how I go... Anyways, the score!
