Mine was a Parker and I donated it to my son.

My first brush was Muehle Purist with fibre knot. I sold it a long time ago, but sometimes I regret it.

Still have my Maggards synth. My daughters use it to do impressions of me shaving.

The first shaving brush I ever bought was a boar brush (1981) and used it for many years. My first badger brush was a Simpson Chubby 2 (don't recall the exact year but it was a long time ago) . Both are still in my collection.

Unbranded Burma Shave Boar purchased in 1979. 2nd from the left on upper row and still a great brush.

My first brush was a Vulfix 2234 in super from about 10 years ago. I do still have it but rarely use it. Way too floppy for me. Super soft though.

nope...I think it was a red and white burma shave brush that walmart sold...I didn't know what I was doing at the time so after a few tries using Williams mug soap, I tossed both in the trash. lol

Yup.
It's an un-branded boar made in "West Germany". I think I got it in the late '70s and used it with Williams Mug soap.
It stayed in a drawer during a lengthy beard/electric/disposable period, so it's in good shape.

It splays more than I prefer now, but I'm experimenting with elastic band reinforcements these days.

Now, if only I could find the Gillette Super 109 that I had back then. I know I did not toss it, sell it, or give it away.
