    Made an offer, it was accepted... NOS unused Art of Shaving Gillette Power Shave pure badger power brush.

    I remember when these first came out, everyone on the shaving forums poking fun and making snide remarks about it. That peer pressure put me totally off of the idea. Now 10 years later, I wanted one and now I have one coming. :D

    Haven't given that any thought. I imagine it's a lot harder than a regular brush. Then again, it might be as simple as removing a couple of screws in this day of everything is disposable.

    I think I've heard of some of those nasty remarks like "It's like having training wheels for you bicycle" or " Are you going to use it on your tricycle?" or maybe the one "Does it come with attachments?".

    Don't worry Jody, we would never pick on you ..... you go have fun with your brush.

    BTW make sure you got extra batteries ...... Costco sells them in the really big pack. :happy097: .......................... :signs081:

    Got plenty of batteries! lol These rechargeable AA and AAA Panasonic Eneloop batteries are the bee's knees, even when I need a C or D. Just pop a AA into one of the C or D adapters and go!

    Not really sure if it spins. They advertised it as oscillating which could mean it spins or vibrates back and forth? I watched an official AOS video of it in use and it did not look like it was spinning.

    I used to have one of those NOS in my collection. When I got out of major collecting and no one wanted to buy it, I used it once and then tossed it in the trash. It wasn't fun to use. And definitely didn't have the handsome looks of the power brush. lol

    A ton of A&E sets to get caught up. A couple of hand made knives (I am a steel junkie), if I’m lucky a Jerry Stark SR and a custom TNS M2 brush. And one flat bank account pictures when things show up
