Nice Score! Good idea on how to keep your lather warm.
NIce finds! My wife would like the handle on that brush. Very classy
I picked up these brushes the last two days. Left to Right, the black one is a Everready of some kind. Pretty stiff dry.
The second is a no name, it's painted. A heavy, durable paint of some sort and the brush is soft. I'm not sure why the brush seems locked in a twirl. I used it last night face lathering. Softer then I am used to!
The last one (red and white) is a sanax and I don't think it's been used, at least not very much. The plastic handle is very nice and doesn't have the injection molding marks and has subtle yellow striations in it. It's a little softer then the black one, I'll be trying it tonight.
Not up to snuff with that beautiful Pall Mall that Brian found. That's what had me going back out today.

The Lady's Gillette in a case, sweet find. I just cannot find razors very often, and if I do, nothing like that.

I am glad you like it. I hope it brings many BBS shaves
Keep an eye out for my upcoming sales in the BST
You will love it. Congrats.
Here are the brushes (Thanks to Scott aka Groundhog for the Semogue!! ):
Straights and a Swaty:
Best silver steel wedge with bone scales
Greaves Old Tippecanoe
Weird Wade and Butcher
Cumber-something Manchester
Wade and Butcher For Barber's Use (the older kind)
SSA Eskilstuna razor (very little hone wear though the pictures look bad)
Chipped Boker King Cutter with long tail (I'll make it a mini razor someday)
Swaty 3 line (I think)
Waiting on 5 more straights (2 union cutlery, a chipped Kama I'll try to fix, a Heljestrand 31, and an Engels)

looks like you have some work to do, my friend. Enjoy.
That's a great brush too, BTW

Nice scores..that Rooney.....

Yup, a LOT of work. I'm starting with the Rooney. The bristles are brittle, so they are on their way out.
And yea, I can already tell I'm really gonna like this Semogue. The tips are soft in a different way from badger, and it lathers well.
I was looking at a very similar one on the Bay.....
Tell me you are the lucky new owner of that one??
Love that brush! Does it have any markings that say "Rooney," or does it just have the "pure bistles sterilized" sticker?
Okay...feel a little silly asking this...but if it says pure bristles...there's no chance it can be badger?

I'm not sure. This one was a buy it now that cfriend gave me a heads-up on.
Pure bristles usually means boar. This one is (was) a boar brush. I'll soon put a new badger knot in it.
Here's a pair of TTO's I recently grabbed on the bay for $13.50. Not too bad after some minor cleaning!
Good deal and great job. It amazes me how gunky these razors get and how durable the plating is that they can be polished back to their former glory!
