    Default Ha, here's a good one for brush collectors!

    Ok, these kinds of listings don't come around too often, so enjoy this one for what it's worth.

    A badly-chipped, red "amber" brush, unrestored and with worn-out bristles, all yours for . . . . $300. Or you can try to make an offer for less (although at that price, it's sure to go quickly!) Free shipping too!

    Here's the link:

    I'll race you to see who can hit "buy it now" first... (Just give me your eBay login first so that I can make sure which account is getting this incredibly valuable brush)

    Yea, good illustration of another basic rule for eBay selling -- unless you have a beautiful, young English girl to pose next to your shaving gear (see below), then keep all human bits out of the photography.

    It may be only a boar brush but it is definitely broke in and ready to go! Besides it's knotted to a genuine piece of amber bakelite!
