Scored this on eBay for a completely insane price.
A Vintage Kent V14...
A 35mm knot, 48mm loft brush with that Golden-hued Pre-70's badger (European badger I would assume) that is softer than anything available in todays brushes.
Brush is basically new, except for being a gorgeous DEEP orange butterscotch color.
Here it is drying from a couple lathers and washes. Didn't drop a single hair. Only problem is I have nothing big enough to hang it from. This thing is significantly bigger than a Chubby 3.
Honestly how no clue how I won it for
$50 plus shipping
Other ebay scores... 7" DB escher for $29
7" Vintage paddle coti (looks like a gem from pics) for $95
Puma with wood box for <$20... looks like someone shot it with birdshot, but the box alone sells for $20, and the damage to the razor seems to avoid the edge, so it should hone up just fine, even if it won't win any beauty pagents.
8x2" Lily White for under $100
Today I received a Smart Helix Apollo Razor. It looks fantastic and the presentation in the wood packaging is a nice touch. I can't wait to use it for the first time tomorrow.

Just got back from Canton, TX flea market with a few things. Red Tip in case for $17, Christy with 2 cruddy blades and a box of 5 vintage GEM-style blades for $15, a Weck hair shaper for $7, and a new tube of Maas for $2. Not earth-shattering deals, but decent.
