Anthrax vintage brush

[Cearball]

Vintage brush ( think it's Badger) I got in a shaving set with a 7 0 clock NEW long comb.

Says something along the lines of " guaranted free from anthrax"

I like it as it is a good travel size.
Would people use it or throw it away?

Thanks

Could be a horse knot too.

Should be OK

I'd worry if it said “not guaranteed free from anthrax”.

I'd wash it thoroughly a few times with dish soap and warm water before use, but it should be fine, and could be a really good knot.

Pix?

I have problems with seeing such a statement.

They're a fine band.


The lack of tolerance for metal in this day and age in unacceptable.

Well, if things don't work out you can always have a new residence.

Now they all work. Brush seems to be in great shape, and it's a boar brush, they dyed them to look like badger. I love boar and prefer it to all other brush types, I would soak it in room temp tap water for 30 minutes and then wash it out. It should perform well and then get even better with use.

What kind of head is on that ABC handle?

That's the 7 o clock NEW Long comb. I had a ABC handle lying around so thought I would use it as I wasn't a fan of the one it came with.

The other is a USA NEW Long comb with a gold wash ball end tech handle.

Like @TobyC , I went there to read the post, but was distracted by the razor handle. What Combination Box is that?
