I don't know if this brush has ever been used. It came from an out of business shave shop, where it was a display item. I've been shaving for over 50 years, and I've never seen an angled brush before. It is branded "LIWA widax, vulcanized sterilized". It looks to have a 19 - 20 mm knot, that doesn't seem to shed. That's all I know about it. Bidding starts at 99¢ with $8 shipping CONUS. Thank you for looking. Good tidings and good cheer.
