Gremlins Bathroom Buddy

[Jamesfett]

I think mine is thinner than the screen prop as well.

 

[scarf man]

No, I see that. It's around the head. You can see in the Ebay pics I just posted vs. mine. The head/bristle area is much sharper than mine. Mine has softer more rounded edges. I can hold mine up and compare to this below.

I am saying I think you are right. It's a Butler 411, just not the same one I have. This one I have is likely a newer model.

Those look like 90s packaging, please do post a pic of your toothbrush i forgot which page it was on.

Look at the red one in your pic, and the red one in my Ebay pick. You can really see how much sharper and flatter the Ebay one is.

The red is a 409, so will differ from your 411, I’m just not following what you’re saying about flat and sharp. I’m a visual learner and could use pics, with arrows if you can.
I promise you I’m not being petty or obtuse, I just can’t grok what you mean.

No worries at all. This is the fun part. The hunt!

I messed up. The very top word should be thicker, not flat. Or flat and thicker.

I understand now, and couldn’t make the connection because I think all those were sanded down on the toothbrush. I think the whole side of the toothbrush, probably both sides, were sanded down to fit the slot on the bathroom buddy.

I’ll bring out this pic again and say that I think all the dull grey toned surfaces are sanded down, I see multiple flat planes with fine linear texture going across the whole length of the handle’s side.

Could the comb be a longer comb cut down?

Moviefreak Ace 288 is the closest we’ve come across back on pg. 7/8

 

[scarf man]

Moviefreak we’re also working with this pic as well. I can see the 288 cut down, but the teeth look a bit shorter on the prop.

Yeah this pick really shows the grind down. I saw it on the handle before, but missed how much they did near the brush area.

I am gonna work later this week or weekend to grind down the incorrect Ace I have. I think they grinded down one of the aces as I have yet to find any comb like this with such short thingies, spike, bristles, whatever they are called.

 

[scarf man]

Teeth, on a comb I’ve always called them teeth. Fine toothed comb ring a bell?

 

[Jamesfett]

If you say so.

 

[scarf man]

Gah!

Here's a comparison of vintage Ace combs...

Revlon toenail clipper
They're tough to find without the logo. The "R" ones are fairly common and good placeholders.
Check Revlon grooming kits. You can sometimes find them in those and if you're really lucky it'll have the correct Emeryl file too.
FYI - It says Revlon under the nail file and again on the back.

Thanks for the tip Chris, I snapped up a Revlon manicure set with the correct clipper (no R) for $10, it was missing the emryl file, which I already had thanks to you. Cheers!
