Vintage Shaving Brushes
Prices all Shipped in US, Paypal G&S payment only.
Top left: Second Hand bought Simpson Chubby 2 Best (Somerset era I think, faded lamp black, etc). Definitely less dense, loftier, and in my opinion lower grade hair than a modern (or old vintage) Simpson Chubby Best. Still a beautiful brush, but not a great example of a Chubby in my opinion. $90
Suspect Rooney "#3". Very good condition (maybe NOS?). Nice, very curvaceous handle. Soft hair, but not ultra-dense. $60
Vintage Hoffritz 102 (Simpson Chubby 2). Reknotted with a UHD gel-tip. Knot is crazy dense and a really great replacement (quite similar to a well used vintage 2 band chubby knot), but I'm not in love with the gel tips (I like scrub). I have $75 in the handle and ~$50 in the knot if memory serves. $105
Plisson, good size, I bought it on BST as a 10 iirc, but I think it's actually a 12. I paid ~$85 shipped. I keep trying Plisson's and keep realizing I want a scrubbier, denser knot and no amount of quality makes up for that in my eyes. $70
Simpson Polo 10 Best. Another one I think is Somerset due to the faded lamp black. Nice dense brush. Has clearly seen some use, but still good condition. I just prefer Chubbies, also ~$85 shipped from BST. $80
Rooney Heritage (Stubby 1 I think?) Another used purchase. One of the densest brushes I've ever owned. Also very soft. Bought it and a Sz 2 at the same time and prefer the Sz 2. Definitely a wall of badger. Has seen a lot of use (split tips etc), but seems well cared for, no donutting or other damage I can tell. $100
Second row: misc Butterscotch and 1 vintage Plisson. All original knots except the rightmost one (that's a 20mm replacement knot that IS NOT SET, but is included).
$25 each, $20 for the second, $15 for third and each one after that. Take them all for $100.
