Nothing on the bottom. I was mainly interested in the mug and thought oh cool a brush too. Doesn't really bother me.
Shredding brush.

Quite right, even if it were an Old Spice brush, the mug is the real gem.
A brush thrown in is just a bonus!
It,s funny you ask...... I have been on the hunt for the last 17 months and I found my Old Spice Brush here is a couple of pics
And I hope you find yours

They show, but only as tiny thumbnails, and not clickable.
Here's a clickable one.

Wow! I've never seen that before. Looks quite long. How does it lather?
Sorted it now they are working.....
It lathers well. I prefer slightly shorter handles, like the Omega Pro 10098, but like barber style handles.

Where did you get it?
You are right; it is either a Van Der Hagen or its predecessor Surrey; they're the same brush. This is a boar. They were widely sold and widely regarded as crap. I had one too, was my first brush, I pitched it after six months of shedding and bought something nicer. This one should either be reknotted or tossed in favor of something better.
Graydog PIFed it to me. He knew I liked both boars and barber handles.
According to www.oldspicecollectibles.com that brush was part of a short lived set that was sold in the mid-'80s. You'd have to look for those on eBay now unless you luck into one.
Shulton was never big into supplying brushes. They just offered the mug and soap kit. In those days Ever-Ready and Made Rite brushes were reasonably widely available and so when you see a mug for sale it typically comes with a third party brush (like your Surrey) because those eBay sales are estate cleanouts. They're selling the deceased's mug and brush.
If you like brushes with barber handles, the usual shaving vendors or eBay/Amazon can usually supply something like an Omega 98. It will probably have boar bristle. Some guys like badger hair or synthetic fiber instead of boar but then you'll get a standard handle.

Thanks everyone. I'd love an Old Spice shaving brush just to complete my set. Has anyone got one?
Good luck in your quest it has taken me 17 months to find one, mine should be here for the weekend fingers crossed....
What’s your YouTube channel?
Yeah that definitely does not seem to be a common thing. I count four on eBay now, all part of their original set with the mug and stand, but holy $$$. Can't speak for OP but no way would I buy those kits for as much as they're asking.
There is also seems to be this style, which I spotted on e(vil)bay for way too much IMO.
