Avon Shaving brush

[Storer50]

I didnt know Avon made shaving sets but this came with an Avon mug at a local antique mall. I thought is might be a makeup brush. Any info? Thanks

I've seen a few of those on ebay. It is always described as a shaving brush. The handle is ceramic, I believe. I'm guessing from the 60's or 70's. Sorry I don't have any more info.

I have one of those.Supposedly it's a ladies leg shaving brush because of the long handle.The knot is boar and really small.It makes for a great restore.I put a 26mm from GNIB in mine.I don't know what era there from but the handle is plastic or some kind of composite like plastic.It's not bakelite or celluloid.

definitely a ladies brush, nice find though.

Ladies brush or not, with a nice badger knot set in it, I'd use it and display it in a heartbeat.

I picked a "new" one of these up on the bay after seeing one that had a new knot put in. Pics in this thread:

I haven't gotten around to modifying mine to put a new tip in, but the existing knot did come out really easily.

It's a man's shaving brush - it's part of the Avon Gentlemen's Regiment four-piece set - shaving brush, soap in mug, aftershave, and talc.

Got any pictures of that set? The wiki entry on Avon is kind of thin (er, partly because I wrote it and I don't know the first thing about Avon).
