My new brush from Grizzly Bay. Handle is a little shorter that what I thought it would be, but man... it feels great in the hand with the knurling. I had him put the 26mm Fanchurian V3 knot in there. Super soft tips! Translucent red base, with black/white swirl top. I did three palm lathers to do a semi break-in and only lost 2 hairs. Man... does this thing whip up a lather fast. I think I have a keeper here folks.

What can I say I just needed to have one of the Iconic Simpsons brushes.
Picked up these 3 vintage brushes Friday, while out antiquing with the wifey! Another Ever-Ready I didn't have, a Rubberset 153 with a beautiful marbelized Bakelite handle, and an NOS Culmak 30. Never heard of Culmak, but I love the butterscotch yellow!
God rewarded you for going antiquing with your wife. That took courage.
No den would be complete without one!
Oh, I love going antiquing with her! Many times she'll spot a razor or some other shaving collectible before I do. And I keep an eye for the Pyrex she loves to collect.
Friday was my birthday and that's what I wanted do - spend the day with her antiquing. It's good quality time!
Still GRUME. However, bought some coffee mugs from Captain's Choice. Thank you for all the extras, @Captain Pre-Capsize
Just got this the other day: Simpson CT1 Pure Badger. A bit floppy, but I love the handle.
Dude that’s beautiful, I love his work and will have one of his blues one day!
He does the coolest blue ones I’ve ever seen, they’re all either really dark and see thru or electric blue, nothing else I’ve seen comes close.
One from Milton, this thing is awesome. Stays really warm, lathers really well. Happy I picked this up.
Dig the sparkles in the base:

Just got this Rubberset 200-2 that I’m gonna clean up and restore. For a size comparison I have my 200-5 next to it.
Just got this from Milton @Turn & shave great guy to deal with and great communication and shipping was quick it arrived 4 days earlier than expected it doesn’t have his medallion but I have used the brush once and it is nice
I am just now seeing this post. I have the exact same handle and had Rudy Vey change out the knot with a Manchurian fan knot. It is now my favorite brush... in action this morning.Ever Ready 200 in Butterscotch! I wonder if the hair can be cleaned and restored.

What did you end up doing with yours?
Speaking of Rudy Vey... incoming next week. Marbled buttterscotch with a Shavemac 2 band silvertip.
Mondial Antica Barberia Aluminum "Super Badger" brush. I couldnt find any reviews on this brush or on Mondials "Super Badger" grade of hair, but its not impressive at all, im pretty sure its just dyed and bleached pure badger. The handle though is fantastic, solid aluminum with a nice weight to it, heavier than Mondials aluminum boar brush handles, probably the most comfortable handle ive tried yet. Ill probably try and learn to reknot with an actual silvertip knot.
