The pictures below are of my Dad's brush. He gave it to me in 1963 when I was 12, along with a Fatboy, a Schick Injector, an Old Spice shaving mug (which I also still have), and a couple of bottles of AS--Old Spice and Seaforth. He set me on my own devices to begin my shaving career with his old gear, for he had gone exclusively to electrics. Throughout the years, the Fatboy and the Schick got lost in the shuffle, but I did manage to hang on to this brush and the mug for all this time. I thought I had lost it forever a couple of years ago, but my EX-SWMBO had a package of things that she had been holding onto for me, and one of the things was the brush.
My question is simple: I don't need another restore, for I have over 20 now along with several new brushes, but do I restore this brush? I don't have another like it, and it would make a nice restore, and I have a 22mm TGN Super Silvertip that would go nicely. But...isn't it cool that it is all original? My Dad used it, I used it, and it's probably over 75 years old.
What would you do?
