Received two more New Forest brushes from the UK and I love the look of these.
The 'Chunky' is of a similar design that I have but much more...well..chunky.

Here are the two new arrivals:

Biggest collection of New Forest brushes I've seen in one spot. Back when I used badgers I was always curious about Fido's brushes. Upon looking now it appears that he has retired. Congrats on being able to amass such a set.

^No offense intended, but those labels are horrific! What brand of products are those? I've never seen them.

Received another vintage, American shaving brush in fixer-upper condition.
This one was $7 which seems to be the rough price give or take $5 for these types of brushes.

Now, I know that these types of brushes is not everyone's cup of tea (or brush for that matter) but personally I really like them - and they are all different in some way. These guys have some personality

The brush I received is a Sta-Fast:
