Bakelite brush with badger hair bristles.
Gillete Safety razor.
I paid 0.35€ each!! Razor needs some cleaning, it's rusting inside, but not damaged yet. It's stamped Gillette and the crossed swords behind the blade casing. Not sure of what material the handle is made.

Thanks Kevin. No blade inside, but the rust might be a residue from a rusted blade. I will clean it promptly!
Nothing beats a toothbrush for these tasks!!! :)
Rust is all gone!!! ;)
I still use one of these every day (around the bearded bit)...can't be bettered by modern alternatives. (..and no I'm not old enough to rmember when they first came out..I just like the quality of vintage stuff!)
