Coate's Fitzwilliam Pure Badger Brush

“This attractive little Coate’s branded shaving brush has a hand lathe-turned handle and is filled with pure badger hair. Simpsons produced this line of “Fitzwilliam” brushes under the Coate’s brand name but as far as we know, they have never before been offered for sale. The Fitzwilliam is modeled on a brush that first appeared during the 1930′s. These brushes date from before the Vulfix take over of the Simpson brand and were manufactured in Somerset, around 10 years ago. The graduated handle shape has lamp blacked detail to both sides.”

So there you have it, snap up a piece of unique shaving history while you can!
