I ordered a red tip just to see how it does. I love how smooth my superspeed is but want a little closer shave than it can give. If it works out I'll probably make it my travel razor since I generally like long handled razors and the red tip is more compact that my other razors.

Probably, it would be far too awkward for a shaving brush.

Wow $96.00 just to make me weep, huh. It worked

How did this feel?

Ouch!

Yeah, they're all going for under $100 this month. Crazy huh?

The Omega 10066 Boar @Boojum1 picked for his was a really nice knot. Really worked great on the install. Maybe Mark will chime in with his thoughts.

Hmm...it WOULD be interesting to have one 400-badger and one 400-boar....

Cannot say enough about the Omega 1066 Boar. Recommended by @clint64, it's the perfect knot for the Rubberset 400. Not too thick, not too tall and yet very economical.

I wish I had that one in my 400-unmarked. I used a knot from a Omega 49 and really had to open the collar up a lot to make it work. The 10066 just dropped right in. And given the price and no mods on the collar, it would be easy to change it out if you didn't like it.

Would you happen to have a straight-on photo of it?

I'll do it for you but let me get my back well. With any luck it will be better by the start of the second week of August.

Wow, thanks Clint!
NO rush! Knowing how slow I am at deciding on knots, etc..we'll be way into August anyway
PM me your preferred 'bribe' - may it be soap, razor or aftershave

Here you go. Just before I shipped it back to Mark.

I am waiting on August. I have a new handle that needs a new knot. Must wait until August.

That does indeed look great...I like that it sort of brings it back to how it was originally meant to be.

Awesome brush.

It's just missing one thing

Juuuust kidding

It's a cracker barrel. HA!

Their slogan "Home made doesn't cost extra" is very apt in this case

Maybe one or ten. This one's nice.
