just shocked!
I was watching this one to see if I could grab a nice aluminum handle brush. No way at this price!

A lot better than the NIB brushes that recently came up for $499.00 and $599.00 !!!

Aluminum is now more than silver!

Two people wanted it bad enough to raise the price that high and wanted it now. Whew!

At least they had free world wide shipping ��

Someone was just commenting that a used one got way up to $75 the other day and then I saw this!

Thanks for the pic. It's a nice brush but i didn't think they were that rare. Interesting how the market is going. Maybe it's a shaving brush bubble.

I know folks love the aluminum Rubberset 400, but I just don't see the attraction. Rubberset was an outstanding quality maker of shaving brushes and is my favorite brand, but the 400 just looks like an old screwdriver handle. I think the wooden ones are much nicer looking, and the prices that the aluminum ones are fetching are ridiculous. To each their own, I guess.

I own three 400's and watch them all the time looking for a good deal on a fourth. I see what they sell for and I've seen a NOS one with a box go about that high once so that auction certainly isn't a good representation of current prices. With that much for a used one I think a couple people who didn't want to lose were fighting it out and someone's ego cost them a few bucks that day.
