Ever-ready shaving brushes has been iconic in the shaving industry for more than a century, The Kampfe brothers introduced the Star Razor in 1875, the first safety razor made in the United States. Jerry Reichard, after working for the Kampfe Brothers for 23 years, leaves to start his own company - the Gem Cutlery Company in 1898. In 1903 Jerry Reichard leaves Gem to form yet another razor and blade producer, The Yankee Company, which is later renamed Ever-Ready in 1905. Gem & Ever-Ready merge in 1906. In 1915 Ever-Ready Shaving Brushes are first introduced. Gem & Ever-Ready merge with Star to become the American Safety Razor Corporation in 1919.

This two toned brush comes in a black and cream handle and is fitted with a 21 mm Finest two band badger knot. The brush stands 107 mm tall and weighs 69 grams. It is a bit heavier than the original would have been as we filled the plastic handle with resin to ensure it is more resistant to damage. The brush has an hourglass shape with a waist size of 29 mm and a base diameter of 37 mm.

Still Great after 75 years

I am 73, I am still using my grandfather’s Sterling 100 T made in USA. This is perfect, it has to be over 75 years old and not losing any of its original quality. I would not think of selling it and every shave begins with the terrific brush. If you ever get one you probably will not find anything close made now.
