I found this handle when I was back in the UK a few weeks ago and it had a very sad looking blonde knot in it. I tried to use it and the thing shed like crazy. So I sent it off to @Tony Forsyth who replaced the old knot with a lovely manchurian bulb knot. The brush is now in great working nick. However, I have no idea of the make or brand. Being that I found it at my parents home, it is most likely to be of English heritage, but I could be wrong. The brush has some heft, about 82 grams and is very well made (approx dimensions: handle 50 mm, diameter 23mm, but these are very rough guestimates, not measured sizes). Any ideas would be welcome. Thanks to @Tony Forsyth for the great job of restoring.

Looks like a Vulfix 406 handle to me. Also known as the Burlington.
 
Picked this up a while back but forgot to post. It is a vintage Creed (tallow) soap from the late '60s/early '70s - Epicea. The fragrance has been vaulted for some time.
Still in original cellophane wrap. Looking forward to giving it a whirl......

Hey @Nightguard Thanks for that, yes indeed it does look like a Vulfix 406 having done some Googling. That would also fit with its likely origin. Also, there was some very faint writing on the handle before I sent it off to Tony for re-knotting, but not enough to make sense of, but would fit with those images that Google throws up. Much appreciated.

This soap smell absolutely fantastic, straight from the puck is smell like Chocolate, Ginger, Honey, Tobacco, Vanilla and Bourbon, it’s not very sweet or strong, it’s a very relaxing and pleasant smell.
