Over the weekend, I picked up an absolutely mint Stanhome lucite handled shaving brush with the original badger knot. This thing looks like it was purchased and placed in a time capsule. The lucite is clear and perfect, and the knot is big, soft, and fluffy like a brand new knot. It doesn't even smell like soap. I'm really considering just using it as-is, even though it would be striking with a new black badger knot.
I know Stanhome brushes aren't considered collectible or desirable, but my grandmother worked for Stanley Home Products for decades and the brush reminds me of her.
