Been on a butterscotch binge....
Rooney Keyhole style in best:
Vulfix Regent marked with Hochschild Kohn & Co. A famous department store in Baltimore, I believe:
A Kent V5B in case:
And last but not least, a Vulfix 37x (I think) branded 'Coronet':
I'm hoping to keep the original knots on the Rooney and Kent brushes but at least the Vulfix Regent will require re-knotting, likely by Vulfix/Simpsons although the Coronet may pass muster. However, I have rather a strong dislike of Pure Badger so it may have to have some Best popped in. Looks rather like a 2-band but as we know, it's all the the tips. I did say tips, didn't I....?
I would very much like to add one or two Simpsons butteries to that little lot and a Culmak as well. That'll be the bulk of the English makers crossed off.

It’s quite ‘bare’ already in places where it hasn’t been protected

It is excellent stuff. I have used it on furniture and bronze pendants that I make.

You may want to consider a clear coat (thin and will not alter blade gap). Renaissance Wax after clear coat. Hope you bought the smallest possible container of Renaissance Wax and have a well ventilated area (like outdoors). Nice looking razor. I have a Charcoal Goods OC Level 1 Copper and DB Level 2 Brass and no urge to buy more razors.
