Charlie, I'm sorry that you have to sell this brush. good luck, Zach Yep I thought of it as a long term keeper but we are pretty tight right now so anything I buy has to be a the expense of something I already own. I have a few brushes that will probably last my lifetime so I had to eliminate one f...

The lettering is upside down. (chuckle, of course) Nope you were just reading it upside down! Yep it was done that way on purpose so that when it is hung on a stand to store the lettering was right side up. Of course Richard already knew that. Just his way of saying hi! BTW when will we see the Nin...

2006 B&B Limited Finest Silvertip Faux Horn FS

Well I have for sale a brush I thought I would never sell. The only reason I am selling this brush is because I really need the money. This brush needs no introduction but I will go through a little background. I am the original owner of the brush. I bought it with the group buy a while back. It is ...

On November 9th one was sold. The seller is the same person who I got the picture of the 54's on the display that I posted earlier. Ebay doesn't keep info on auctions older than 30 days but I was able to find out the price on the one that sold. It sold for $200.

Nice collection and pics. Is there anything different about the '54 other than the case? (BTW, '54 is my birth year.) It is a standard 40's Style Super Speed. (47'-53' I think.) Z datecode. Without the blue case you wouldn't be able to tell the difference. That particular razor separates collectors...

Just remember these razors were made at at time when raw materials were not wasted. I also have seen a few razors that use parts from years they were not supposed to have used. I think they were called transition razors. They are what happened when Gillette was transitioning to changes but didn't w...

Pork Sholulder is right up my alley! However I guess I should have said in the beginning that it is an open pit style. It doesn't have a cover. I have a gas grill that I can use as well by placing a pan of smoke chips over the gas flame but I was thinking about using the open pit as much as possible...

OK guys, in my back yard I have a stone oven/barbecue. I have never used it for grilling. I know I can just fill it with charcoal and light but what if I wanted to get some really smokey barbecue kicking! I am going to have a cook out for one of the up coming games and need some suggestions on what ...

Actually this thread just got bumped. I wrote this review back in April. Gene no that is a regular gold Rocket if there is such a thing. The HD or 500 LD have thicker handles and go for more money.
