    Hi Biggy, all my Old cars have in excess of 200,000 miles, My S10 diesel has over 850,000, Super coupe Tbirds- 2 of them, 4 Mecedes Benz, so I don't need no stinking Yugo. and I Don't like to argue. If I wanted a super duper High dollar Brush a few OLD Badgers I know of would have to give their all and I would make my own, but Dad's Ol brush and the Moisture Whip will probably last the rest of my life, besides I'll save what I have from stopping Cigg smoking, savings from Other shopping and I'll be able to own every stone that is on my list. You Gent's enjoy though. Really, No Offense.

    For those who complain about how much an item cost I say don't buy it, but don't put down those who do, it's my money and I have plenty this is not an extravagant expense, I spent a lot more on motorcycles, guns, and jewelry. Your opinion is yours and that's great, just don't believe you need to make those who do spend it sound stupid, I personally don't think it is worth money for old wore out cars and trucks. Tc

    I've never owned any other brush than the one I have now, bout 5 or so years old at this point. If I can spend triple the amount for it for something that lasts the same but feels or functions better? Why not? You don't have to be rich to afford nice things. You just have to properly budget your money. If I wanted to buy a custom razor from every maker here, I'd cut spending somewhere else. Spend it how you see fit, it's not like you can take it with you when you're dead.

    After checking out their site, I put my name in for one. The Orion one is really cool looking. I'll check in whenever I get it. The dude said it wouldn't be too long before they are selling again.

    There are few things in life where most of us can afford the very best there is. I think with shaving this class of item is within reach to most of us whether it's a brush or a razor or a shave soap or A/S or related item.

    When somebody gets one, give us a review. Their website doesn't say what grade of badger they are using, but they look good.
