Some of you might know from previous posts I've made, that I have a few friends that keep an eye out for me when they venture to the antique stores. I have 2 guys that are often out and about, and have found excellent razors for me in the past. This story proves I have a horse shoe up my butt.
Today while I was at work, I receive a text from one of those guys, one of our electricians we use. I'm going to post our entire conversation over text.....Stay with me fellas.
Our Conversation, starting with this random, but awesome first text.

The black handled razor with big brass pins. The black should be buffalo horn.
Danny- $20 on the razor
Me- Frick ya! I pay you
Danny- Brush with the black ring?
Me- It has the long handle with long blonde hair like your wife. Should be boar hair, not like your wife.The one in the centre of my pic.
It should say Rubberset.
Danny- Says Albright, $25 on the brush.
Me- Is it wood or plastic? Am I asking too many questions? Lol
Danny- I think it is plastic but I can't tell.
Me- Ya, get it too. Yer the best! Did I ever tell you that???
Danny- I are great,Now remember the part where you pay me, right?
Me- Hahaha, Ya mon.
A little while later......
Danny- Brush says Rubberset, you were right.
Me- Knew it! That makes me happy!
Danny- Oops, razor was $30. Oh well, you spill more than that on a weekend.
Me- Ha, no prob.

Me- I may want a hug from you, and a long embrace.....
Danny- That will cost more
I then called him to talk, and tell him how amazing this was. Once I got it in hand I found that it was indeed an FBU. 8/8 in size, original scales, lead wedge, and bulls eye collars. One thing I noticed, and was surprised at, was how thin this particular one was ground. As for the Rubberset brush, it was much smaller than I was thinking it was going to be. Both should clean up very well. The brush I may reknot with a nice small ShaveMac DO1 in the future, and will probably try Outbacks white wax stick for the lettering. Here's some pics of the 2.
