Here’s a quick look at some vintage shaving brushes I picked up Ebay.
You can find similar brushes at this Ebay listing page: https://goo.gl/FUE3MA
Many are priced in the ten to fifteen dollar range. (This may change over time).
The cleaning recipe I used (gathered from various youtube videos and online articles):
Clean the brush with anti-bacterial soap. Agitae and work the soap into the bristles for three to four minutes.
Rinse well
Soak the brush for five minutes in a mixture of five parts water and one part Apple Cider Vinegar.
Rinse well
Follow this with a good shampoo-conditioner.
Rinse well
Hang upside down to dry.
I recommend an initial washing of pre-used AND new shaving brushes.
