Sabini finest prototype. It has a very white handle, much whiter than most faux ivory handles, and quite dark band of hair with cream colored tips. On cursory inspection, the brush seems to have a very dense knot and typical finest hair being course at the base with relatively soft tips. It'll be getting a good workout in the next day or so.

Black stand

Man this thing was so small when I took it out of the box, but it looks soo nice! Can't wait to try this out, should be a nice upgrade from the $35 starter kit AOS brush.

"Got Shoes?"
I followed Stauff's recommendation awhile back about Tabac. I now have a closet filled with Tabac products. So now I am following his recommendation regarding Speick. The Valobra is a recommendation of Trader Joe.

I hit up some antique stores today. If anyone has ever seen the movie "Doc Hollywood" with Michael J. Fox, that little town is where I went. It is called Micanopy, and is about 10 miles south of Gainesville, FL. It is pretty much all antique stores on both sides of the street. I hit 4 stores, and there wasn't a lot of shaving goodies, but I did alright.

Anyway, here is what I got, clockwise from top:
-Two 1966 cartridges of injector blades, in the boxes. One of them is in the box containing a...
-1935 Schick Injector, in the original box, with papers.:thumbup1:
-Superspeed, date code D4. It's my first SS. I cleaned it, and will use it tomorrow.
-Gillette Tech, in a Star travel case.
-A vintage Record Razor travel razor kit, with 3 blades in the original box. It has to be post-WWII, because it was made in W. Germany.

Grand total for all these goodies: $41.

Also, I found this toothbrush holder at Wal-Mart, and it makes a fine razor holder.

I just SLANTED my PayPal account slightly to (re) purchase a Merkur Slant. The previous Slant I purchased never touched my face. I'm giving Merkurs in general a second chance at my rotation that had previously been chocked full of English Made Gillettes. If all goes well with them I could unload all of my "Rockets" and purchase a Plisson that I crave.

I have several Merkurs, and gillettes. The slant blows them all out of the water. Ive been using it for six months, while the others collect dust. It gives me a bbs shave every day without the slightest irritation. It ended my RAD for good. David V
