Kudos to Kent

[Darkbulb]

A week ago I sent off an email to Kent asking about an old red brush that I had bought on eBay asking them if they knew anything about it - and today I got the following in my inbox:

"After some digging I have found it - it is an R24 Real Badger brush- looking
in great condition I must say!
Its from 1940's-50's era

I have attached the page from the catalogue ,

Photo of my red, old brush:

The image that Kalie attached to her reply:

Now, here's a funny thing...at the very TOP of that same page is...the the OTHER vintage Kent brush I recently bought (model K528):

Someone asked about that very same brush on another forum - seven years ago - and had received this from Kent:
"I have managed to find out that this brush was made in the late "60", the last time I can find it on a price list is 1971 and it had a retail cost of £14.00 .
It was in our economy range of shavers having a plastic handle and filled with badger."

So, Kent helped me identifying two of their old vintage brushes.
Love it when a company cares about their history and also goes out of their way to help someone who obviously didn't pick up the brush new last week.

Well done Kent

Thats brilliant news. Great company which is why I'd buy another one in the future.
A bit quicker on the response than mine and I didnt get a catalogue photo (jokes)

Wow! Massive fair play to Kent and Ms Fowler.

PS - fancy dropping her another line DB and pointing her in the direction of ATG...

Hi Kalie!

Thank you Richard @Darkbulb

That old contemporary Kent catalogue (in Kalie's post to you) looks to be in fantastic condition. I wonder how many more of them she has? Wouldn't it be great if there was access to pdf versions of these online...

Great to see fantastic service, others could learn a thing or two!

It would....actually that would be rather awesome....

It would be great if Kent could offer some shaving brushes with less loft and more backbone but this is an excellent response from the company.
