I was hoping to sell these to fund a new brush, but instead I am funding some bills. Shipping is an additional $5 for USPS Priority within the US, otherwise PM me for international quotes.

Shavemac Americana D01 3-Band - $80 SOLD
MSRP = $179.85 - 19% VAT = $145.68 x 40% discount = $87.41 maximum
Purchased this recently used to see how I like D01 silvertip hair. It's dense, doesn't bloom much, has a LOT of backbone for silvertip, and relatively soft tips (mild scritch because it doesn't bloom much). The handle is really cool, ivory resin with cocobolo wood and tortoise-shell resin. I measure it at 24mm x 52mm. I'm told this was one of the first run. It has not shed a single hair under my watch.

Simpson Classic 2 Best ***SHEDS*** - $30 SOLD
MSRP = $112.70 x 40% discount = $67.62 maximum
Before reading, please know this is a shedder! It sheds anywhere from 2-5 hairs per shave. Good handle for a project, or keep using the brush as it still works fine. It's a soft example of Simpson Best, a mild scritch, but one of the better ones I've encountered. I measure it at 22mm x 44mm with a fan shaped knot.

Whipped Dog Silvertip 22mm - $18
Longshot, but if anyone has a Semogue 610 or 620 they want to trade, let me know!
MSRP = $35 x 40% discount = $21 maximum
Just got this in last week and know it won't make my rotation. It's literally been de-funked, stray hairs combed out, cleaned, conditioned, and it hasn't shed a hair the last several test lathers. I've used it once in a shave. It seems to be a combo of silvertip with a few pure hairs mixed in with a mostly soft face feel and a touch of scritch from the pure hairs. It's a bulb shape knot measuring 22mm x 44mm. The handle is navy blue. Surprisingly, the knot whips up a fantastic lather, just too small for me and I have too many brushes...

Fantastic Brushes! If the Americana is still available after the GRU-Summer Restraint, I'll be jumping all over that. That is a beautiful brush! Good luck with the sales!
 
Man, I have been looking for a new brush looking in the this sub forum daily. I see the title, thinking that Americana's got my name all over it. Only to see it gone. Man. Great brush and Congrats on the Fortunate B&Ber.

The search shall continue.
 
The Rooney sale was one reason these brushes had to go!

Americana was a cool brush but I've got bills to pay and I see a blue swirl Shavemac 173 in my future, sized somewhere between the Americana and the little Classic 2.
 
On the Whipped Dog, if anyone wants to trade one for one and has a Semogue 610 or 620, let me know. Other two have been sold. Thanks!
 
Looks like I am unable to edit the first post, but everything has been sold. Thanks!
