**shanman** · 11-21-2011, 09:27 AM

Here's some items I have to offer the fine upstanding individuals of B&B. PM with interest, paypal only, prices are CONUS shipped- I will ship internationally with if you care to pay extra shipping/tracking/insurance, etc. I use our B&B guidelines and common sense to grade these razors. First PM gets dibs, I do not play the whoever pays first game. Additional pics can be found HERE. Password: shanmanPLEASE DO NOT FREAK IF YOU DON'T GET AN INSTANT PM REPLY, I AM OUT RUNNING ERRANDS TODAY!First I have to offer an NOS Strong Set Badger and Bristle in original box (think Caravela in Lucite!). New Old Stock, never used, mint. Knot diameter is 21mm, loft is right at 50mm. Gorgeous brush, but I'm swimming in too many.$40 shipped SOLD

Second, I have a lot of three brushes-1) REX 200(Rexall) Badger Cased, 2) a butterscotch Fuller with stand (needs a new knot for sure), and 3)Rubberset "Tophat". I would like to keep as a lot. The Rubberset has a miniscule(4mm) hairline crack I tried to show in the foreground of the close-up shot, it will be zero issue when you epoxy the new knot. Asking $25 shipped. $22 shipped.

Third, an absolutely gorgeous Made Rite 750 in butterscotch. It looks like it was hardly ever used, the base of the knot has zero soap residue. I used this once and she is a painter with not much backbone, I prefer my boars. Pure Badger back in the day is way softer than what is considered Pure Badger in modern brushes. Knot is 20mm, loft is 60mm. Asking $35 shipped.SOLD

Fourth, we have a vintage Seaforth mens talc, full from what I can best tell. $15 shipped SOLD

Fifth up is Kent soap in wood bowl, easily 85%-90% left. This stuff made my face unhappy, and I could not get a satisfactory lather out of my hard city water. $15 shipped. SOLD

Sixth item up for sale is a Rubberset aluminum brush and cup set. Rarely do you actually find this as a set, and hardly ever do you find the matching mug. A puck of Williams fits perfectly snug in the bottom of the mug. Big floppy horsehair knot, put in a new TGN knot, buff it all out and you have a super nice gift set. I just put the digital calipers on it and I'm getting around 25mm knot, 80mm handle height, and 66mm loft.$38 shipped$32 shipped

Seventh item for sale, a lot of three glass shaving mugs and two freebie brushes. No chips or cracks in any of the mugs, logos in excellent, crisp shape. The two OS mugs are the earlier Shulton thumb bump models- one has a puck left in the bottom. The Gentlemen's Regiment is Avon I believe, has a puck of VDH in it. Lids are makeshift random stuff that fit in order to keep the soaps from drying out. Burma Shave brush has never been used, the green VDH brush is good for cleaning out the bottom of the sink after you shave. ;) Will be packed very carefully, cost is a bit more for this lot as it will be heavy to ship. $40 shipped $36 shipped

Eighth up for sale is a Bob Farvour ER butterscotch re-knotted in boar. It has stabilized cracks as seen in the base, and up one side. Short of tossing it against a brick wall, it is not going anywhere. Shed a few hairs the couple times I used it, not broken in yet. $12 shipped SOLD

I have a Made Rite 750 also, mine came NOS in the box - as you said, not much for backbone, but hands down one the Softest face feel of any brush I own. Feels like silk.

I think they must have regularly dipped the badgers in conditioner as they were raised back then..
