I don't even want to know the damage on that....
 
I do. Mark would you care to PM me the price? Unless you would rather not. Which I understand.
 
The cost for the re-knot in best was $100. They ended up doing in super which was a bonus that I didn't object to!

Very impressed with the polishing jobs.

Just a heads up that there might be some very nice re-knotted vintage brushes up for sale soonish ....

Button pusher lol
 
What? Who? Me?

BTW that cost was on top of the $25(?) for the brush
 
Ah Mark, sounds like you are up to your old tricks again. Tempting us with such nice objects.

Very nice results on the re-knot and polish. I'd be interested to see their process in action- see what tools/techniques they use etc.
 
For ~$125 then that it s a very nice brush. The super upgrade is probably a thanks from Simmo's for your support. It's not the first one that you have done.

I feel like I have to buy a brush and send it to Simmos now. You are indeed a button pusher Marko.
 
It is a great result and certainly money well spent IMHO!
 
Pfff....you call that a brush? Here's a real brush:

And some other beauties:

Not trying to demean the vintage Simmo but all these are Marks too. Just trying-possibly doomed to failure with an avid/pathological collector-to expand his brush horizon beyond the admittedly much more collectible Simpson. The one on the far right is a beautiful little handle with an amber look to it. They're all dry fits but that's basically what they'll end up looking like.
 
WOW - they all look amazing with a knot in them.

Sensational work Pete!

Seriously, a nice get that. 22c/blade before postage, you have to be happy with that.

Handling and posage should be about another AU$35, so 35c/blade landed, hopefully. Pretty chuffed with myself. 25 year supply of schicks, my wife is happy as she thinks I will out live her now I have so many blades.
 
So was anybody here the culprit on this one?

Over $100 on a cased Fatboy on eBay Australia - I think that is a first.

Of course sensible people who want an uncased (or maybe even a cased one) for a more sensible price would have just contacted me !
 
I don't think any of us are quite that stupid Mark, but with the pricing on the up in the US it was only a matter of time.

Makes me wonder if I should list mine for sale....... only paid about $40 delivered for it.
