I just recently purchased this brush from an eBay seller. I probably paid too much for it, but I've been looking for something like this for a long time and I was getting tired of getting outbid for not much more than what I ended up paying for this one. This is a Rubberset 400. There are a couple of closed stress cracks in the handle base, but I think that adds a little bit of character and interest to that lovely amber-colored plastic (Lucite?). This is a fairly small brush (total height of the handle = 43mm), but I've been enjoying smaller brushes lately, particularly since I went 100% face-lathering.
Not sure what knot will end up here, but I'll document the restoration process as best I can here in this thread.
The first step is getting rid of that nasty, funky old Badger hair...what little is left of it.
To be continued...
