Toothbrush's featured in Stereophile

Stereophile April 2009, Sam's Space
Last month is was razors and shaving cream, this month it's a toothbrush.
Quote "I've had more pleasure from my Radius Scuba than I have from any pair of interconnects or speaker cables. End Quote.
Well after reading that I went and bought one and sure enough he was right. It is by far the best toothbrush I have ever owned. (I purchased the regular as opposed to the Scuba)
If Sam does not gain financially from these plugs then I don't see any harm done.
What's your opinion?
Did anyone else buy one or was I the only reader to give it a try.

ha ha, this is one of the last things i thought i'd be commenting on in the audiogon forums, but yeah, they are good toothbrushes.

i had to switch to them a couple of years ago when i finally got serious about not buying from companies that tested on animals and the radius toothbrushes are the best of the not-tested-on-animals lot for my money.

...and i'm not sure what stereophile said about shaving cream, but for the record, the best shaving cream not tested on animals (IMHO) is - don't laugh - "kiss my face", to which i give a "class A" rating.

Humm,

What's the problem with testing toothbrushes on animals? When I worked in the Thoroughbred Horse industry in high-school, we used to have the horse dentist visit annually to clean the horses teeth. Should I have an ethical issue with this? Just askin'.......

Toothbrushes in general are hard on electronic equipment. Very likely to cause swirls in turntable dustcovers. Haven't been tempted to shave any animals. Not really sure how to get "pleasure" from a toothbrush, don't think I want to know.

I am sick and tired of reviews like this, totally subjective and Sam did not even consider blinded, (or tasteless) testing of this brush with other tooth brushes. Also, there was no information on the types of tooth pastes used, just a blind statement of endorsement probably motivated by getting some reference quality tooth brush at a discount. Bad, bad Sam. And where the *!&%#? was J.A.'s measurements?

Radius also makes a model with a 100% post consumer recycled handle and replaceable heads.
I must admit it is the best toothbrush I have owned.

I am now looking to cryo the brush head and damp the handle with Walker 2 step hand tool treatment paste to achieve optimal bristle/enamel contact.

I am also using a solid olive wood brushing platform on the floor to raise my head for the spit to sink angle.

Highly recommended.
