I have both a 400-3 and a 400 unmarked. I would like to add a 400-4 but with the prices of the last couple of weeks, I'll wait until I'm able to snag one at a more sane price.
Define 'deal' Holy cow...I just took a look on eBay and what in the world has happened to the price on these brushes lately?! I mean they were always high (around $100) but right now they seem to command over $200 in most cases.
Just saw one on e bay starting at $495. That price is just a tiny bit high for me. Nice brush though.
I looked up my ebay purchase of this brush in 2014 and then I paid $86 for mine. That sounds a lot more reasonable.
Not what I'm waiting on to arrive, but what I picked up at a flea market while camping this weekend. Think I need to engage Glen to restore these straights but all this for 30 bucks. Score!
I can wholeheartedly recommend Glen @gssixgun - he put some magic edge on my Thiers-Issard that now cuts throw stubble like there is no tomorrow.
I normally stay away from razors that are too much of a restoration project but...there was just something about this Clauss-Fremont that called to me It's a rather unique design in that the razor head opens and closes by twisting the handle. Now, the seller says she doesn't know how it works and managed to open it...then she couldn't get it to close..then she closed it and couldn't get it to open...so, there may be some issues but we'll see. You don't see them too terribly often and this, as far as I can tell, the 'automatic' model from around 1905-1910. Waits has this to say: The razor:
More incoming! Took advantage of a couple big sales I saw going on this weekend and pulled the trigger on: - A Standard razor, raw aluminum color. They're 30% off at the moment with free shipping, so I grabbed one just to have a backup in case I ever lose or break my black Standard. - A Rooney Style 1/Size 2 Super Silvertip. Vintage Blades has all their Rooney brushes on clearance, 40% off. This was really an impulse buy. - And I ordered another Bufflehead soap, a woody scent called Mannish Boy. That one wasn't on sale, just have really been digging the one I have of their and wanted to try another.
Napa Soap Black Fiber Brush. I'm slowly making my way to all synthetic brushes. For $18 I could not pass this deal up! @MoAllen
