Ebonite will experience surface oxidation over time. It can easily be polished. It's best to store Ebonite our of direct light, especially sunlight. And exposure with scalding hot water is best avoided.

That said, I have pipes from the 40s and 50s with Ebonite stems. And I've seen saxophone mouthpieces priced at over $600 that were made from the same material we use. I've been using Ebonite-handled brushes for over two years that look as good as new.

Helpful tip...Put your Paladin soap(s) of choice in your cart BEFORE the frenzy begins. Wink

Can't believe my fortune. Got the 28mm Lemon Drop Falstaff. Still two brushes left.

All gone except for a single PK47.

I had my eye on that but hesitated in the end because it was 28mm and I wanted 26mm. My slight hesitation caused it to be sold out. I'm glad though because I can always wait for a 26mm. Congrats on the purchase!

Yup. All solid pretty quickly, 39 brushes inside of 14 minutes or so. If one wants a Paladin brush though, they can get one. I was just playing around with the site for the past 10 minutes and brushes were readily available. A refresh or two (couple keystrokes) and one can have one added to cart and taken to checkout in a heartbeat. Well worth visiting during one of these sales to try one's luck.

EDIT: PK47 still there.

You still had a quick trigger finger so don't sell yourself short! You might have still beaten me even if I didn't hesitate.
