My new toy

That's a Rubberset 400. @mrchick is already the proud owner of one of those. See this thread.

No, I already have one of those. The new one is on the left.

 

I haven't seen a Rubberset 400 in the wild, yet. But I keep looking. I've passed on every vintage brush I have encountered. Someone has gotten ahead of me at the antique stores and bought all the good ones. Can't see the joy in owning damaged gear that can't be refurbished. But I keep looking!

 

One man's trash is another man's treasure, there are members on here that do better than refurbish brushes, they make them look better than they were originally and usually with adding even better knots.

 

That's why I now own four DE's and eight straights. Three are out of scales to refirb, two others I've selected to learn honing. I haven't purchased any "new" hardware, except for brushes.
Mrchick will need a display case for his Vintage razors soon, if he follows the pattern I've seen with others, or myself.

 

I'm working on it

 

You got an amazing deal (steal) on an incredible razor.

 

Thank you! I am out of town for a week on a business trip. My wife tells me it came back from being honed by @gssixgun on Monday and I won't even see it until Sunday. It's killing me
This will be my SOTD on Monday!

 

Wow, great looking razor.

 

I was thinking that perhaps you might like this here for prosperity

Honing = Chosera 1-5-10k,, Finish, Blue/Green Escher with a light slurry

 

Thank you for doing such a nice job. It was a pleasure to use this morning.

 

I want what you're drinking

 

Beautiful razor. You can easily re-knot those brushes yourself.

 

Same thing you were when you typed, "Waiting on of dem here" the other night.

 

you guys are funny!
