First, to get this out of the way, yes I'm an idiot.
Now then. I received a brush in the mail today. Nothing came with it. No named sender, no identifying mark on the brush, just a brush in a cardboard box mashed in with some pieces of styrofoam. I looked at my mastercard statement and can't figure out a match. The order must have been a month ago or so. It may have been Ace Shaving in China.
I do remember being seduced by words like mountain and silver and bands, etc. and thinking maybe I could get a $400 quality brush for less than $50. I don't remember what I ordered though or from whom. I just know I would not have paid more than $50.
So, my long-shot question for anyone is: any idea what I have? I'm confident it badger hair of some kind, but no detectable animal smell.
Second question, should it matter to me that it's been mashed out of shape into the oblong shown below?
