This: a Gillette Popular #46, gold-plated 1939. It will come with the white bakelite case but it is missing one blade case. I hope to acquire one some time. When I get it (hope it is all packed carefully) I will display it here. I have a few other Populars, but not the 46. Excuse the picture quality: it is the seller's, not mine. :)

French-made, horn-handled shaving brush, "Le Figaro", not Plisson. And in mint /unused condition. I have seen a few wood/metal Le Figaro brushes, but never one with a horn handle or badger loft. Note the date on the box: 26 January 1959, which is sooo close to my own date of birth it's uncanny. It also provides good research information. Cost back then? 2,000 Old French Francs, or about 38 Euros in today's money.

Does anyone know ANYTHING about the Le Figaro brand? Who made them? I have researched, but unsuccessfully.
