The 400 club

It's a good looking knot. I have an original knot in my 400 #3.

 

Ok if I do but will have to do some schooling on how to remove w/out tearing it up?

 

Contact @clint64. He is a 400 wizard.

 

Yup I'm going to give it a spin for old times sake. It's in there tight as a drum, smells ok too. It really came to life after that soak in Dawn and later Stirling Sharp Dressed Man.

 

Yes I kinda came to that conclusion a few pages into the 400-C.

 

HI - apologies for gatecrashing your thread guys, but I am excited. I have been working on this for a while and these are the prototypes with badger, horse and boar knots respectively. Handsome or what ?

Note: Removable ferrule.

Badger

Horse

Boar

 

They're beautiful, @Vlasta.

 

Thank you! That means a lot.

 

Does this mean I can join 400 club yet ?

 

By all means. You have my vote.

 

I'm about ready to join...stay tuned.

 

Well, this is my second entry in the "400 Club". Both are remakes.
This one is a Solid Aluminum one, from RazoRock. I have to say, it is very well made, and it doesn't have a removable ferrule. The knot it has in it is a Synthetic one, that does a very nice job, and is soft. But, I don't care for this knot much, and I couldn't order the handle without one. I have ordered a High Mountain Badger knot, from Whipped Dog, and with any luck, I might be able to remove the knot, without much damage. I will try heating it up, with some steam first.

So, here it is:
RazoRock 400. Solid Aluminum. Synthetic Knot.



Here it is, next to the other Remake I own.
Left: "The Brush B400" By Tom(@twhite ) . With a Whipped Dog Boar Knot. Excellent finish, Excellent feel.
Right: "RazoRock 400". From The Italian Barber. Synthetic Knot. Very soft, and lathers well.

Both handles have identical dimensions, and feel like the same weight. The B400 By Tom, has a much shinier finish. I believe the RazoRock is advertising theirs is Anodized. Perhaps that dulls it some.

 

I humbly request admission to this exclusive club.

That is one handsome/beautiful brush.

 

Beautiful #3.

Thanks friends. Special thanks to Jim.

First outing with the 400. Can't lie...kinda stinky!
I forgot to pre-wash the knot. Right now it's bathed in Proraso Green lather for a few, or more hours.
Love the handle. The loft at 63mm is by far the tallest in my arsenal and let me tell you, it tore up the WSO!
Funny, I have never had to look for a comfortable grip on a brush before, but today I experimented with a few.
It's a joy to use and unique in my den.
Anyone know how to date them?​

 

Your number 3 sure is a beauty. I believe they where made in the mid 50's for a short period of time. Now you need the other 2.
