    Since I refuse to pay the outrageous prices on the bay for a Rubberset 400, I decided that I'd get the SwitchBack 400

    I think you will like it. Like the cool option to switch between two top caps.

    I ended up pulling the knot on the Suave cap as it is similar to the Stirling synthetic in density and backbone and I dropping a 25mm HMB.

    I like it. Now how much more money to get it right? I'll keep looking for one at that price range, thanks for the heads up. :)

    I even saw one selling for $48 (not ebay) a week ago. So maybe it's a trend :)

    I came across one while back that sold for $60 but needed a lot of work, not to mention a quality knot. I do my own restores and have done nearly 3 dozen for me and family but my thinking was if I was going too spend a lot of man hours in cleaning, polishing and buffing one back to life it would need a quality knot such as shavemac, or the less expensive Romera Manchurian which is actually one of the best buys I ever made in knots but then we are talking over $130 to $200 or better not including the labor. So I went with switchback 400 which I was lucky enough to pickup new $25 and the 25mm HMB cost me like $22 from China and one hour labor. Took longer to figure out how too secure the knot as there is no bottom so when you replace the knot you have a cylinder. now if I happen too luck into one at an antique store like I did with one of my straights I picked up for $10 then I'll step forward for the challenge.
