Description
Hello,I'm proposing this marvellous NOS shaving brush, handle is made of resin with a marble beige color. This is an unused brush as it comes straight from its shipper of 12, most still have their original translucent tube (some haven't, or some tubes are incomplete, but it's cheap plastic so you would not be missing out). PLEASE NOTE, during its long sleep, the brushes have dried a bit, so some of the bristles might break, and some minor cracks might appear along the edge of the collar. These shouldn't prevent you from using it, although I know it's not ideal. But hey, NOS Plisson ! These brushes come from the old stock of a cutlery in the North of France, the granddaughter of the owner found them while moving boxes out. These brushes are from the 1970s. This listing is for 1 brush, but I use the same picture for this version (more info below).
Here are the specs :
Total height : 10.1cm
Knot diameter : 20mm
Loft height : 53mm
Hair type : boar bristles
These specs correspond to a size 10.
Concerned about the possibility to use it or not, I sacrificed myself and un-NOSed one for science, and after a good and long soak in hot water (approx 20minutes) I used it and had a good shave ! The one I picked lost 1 hair during lather making (in a bowl), and 3 or 4 during use on the face. Please note yours might lose more (or less ! who knows !). I used a Simpson's shaving cream for this first test.
I have already sold more than 40 units, and comments are good ;)
