I have posted many shave photos with this brush, but here it was, right after getting it back from @Jayaruh Permission to join, SIRS!
I gifted a #3 and Handle to a member in the UK so just 2 handles now. 1 with no # waiting for time to be cleaned up, #4 with a Tuxedo. #3 needing a knot and then spare ferrels turned by @Clouds either with knots or awaiting knots.
Can you imagine trying to get a comfortable face-lathering with that #3???? Beautiful collection, Dave.
My 400 brush is one of the Murphy and Mcneil MM-400 with the removable ferrule.... I have NOT been able to get one of the rubberset 400 in my price range YET....
Honestly I really like the MM-400 brush. It is only available in black but thats fine personally... I do at one point want to get a rubberset 400 but with the price being so inexpensive for these and the fact that the knot seems like a pretty good one too , I am not really in a hurry.... I think the MM-400 ferrule is the same size as the rubberset 400 one so , I think the aftermarket ferrules "would" probably work on the mm400 so technically someone could have different heads set up with different knots and just switch the "Head/ ferrule" out to use various different types or sizes of knots..
Are the Rubberset 400 #3 handles not desirable anymore?? I just saw two passed on, in bidding. One for $30 and one for $34. One handle was in pretty good shape. I thought about bidding, but I already have a Rubberset 400, B-400(@twhite ), and a RazoRock 400. Unknown if they are to be put up again. Correction, the $30 one was sold for $30, with only one bidder.
Oops. I guess I missed seeing that or I would have bid on it !! That's in the range I have been looking for . I can't believe I didn't see that !!
