I have bought (and used ... and sold) an absolute metric f-ton of vinatge over the decade or so that I've been traditional shaving. I have some lovely kit, be it the Zinn Gem, a minty sparkling Gem Junior Bar, a gleaming Hybrid Tech, many box-fresh shaving soaps going back to (I think) the 1930s and have had (and reknotted) many lovely vintage brushes.
But, flicking back through some older photographs to find a particular picture of an old Ever-Ready brush I once had, I also happened upon these pictures of an absolutely mint and gleaming crystal Ever-Ready T40 with original badger knot, which was of an exceptional quality at the time - true Rolls Royce stuff, this:
I'm not a badger brush person, so this brush went back out as a sale ... but I could happily have kept it as a beautiful ornament.
What's your nicest piece of vintage that you've owned?
