What are you waiting on to arrive...?

Nice.

 

Whipped Dog 22x46 silvertip badger shaving brush with amber handle. I really like my 24x51 silvertip from them so I’m getting another.

 

Nice score. Looks like a cleaning day is coming

A 24mm Maggard black and white synthetic knot for my birthday brush which I am working on..........

 

I have a couple of razors inbound.
The Craftsman looks to be in nice shape.

 

Finally at last the hunting season is over and I got myself a Gem Micromatic Single Edge Bullet Tip safety razor, I'm going to send this to Dave in NZ to get this replated soon
By the way which GEM blades do you guys highly recommended on the market for this razor, because I need to get some very soon so I can give this baby a shave.

 

I asked Wilkinson Sword about this razor on Facebook and they responded with the following: "We can confirm that this razor is a Wilkinson Sword Kompact, launched round about 1980. It was a German design, made in Solingen and took the basic Profile Swivel blades. The replacement blades were however sold in a small circular container, which was stored up inside the handle. Hence the name Kompact. It was sold in the UK, but it didn’t do very well. : ( Hope this helps. The Wilkinson Sword Facebook Team."

 

A SOC Boar in Cherry. I wanted to give Semogue another chance. I tried one years ago, but vaguely remember using it. This model is supposed to have plenty of backbone and be good for face lathering. I'm leaning towards boars now. Not sure I'll ever try a Silvertip.

 

@BigMark83 you should've got this boar brush which is far better than the SOC boar

 

Wadde and Butcher with Thumb Notch

 

I made a reasonable offer for this lot.. I was after the psycho tech and the rotbart .. seller accepted and I'm excited!! I don't have a bullet tip, and this lot has 2 so that's a bonus

 

Nice haul! I use the Gem Personna blades that I find in the local supermarkets. 10 pack for $4.49. They work great for me.

 

Whoa, dude!!!

 

Any Blade from your pharmacy. There really are only a few choices. Carbon steel or Stainless Steel. Do not use Hardware Store blades!!!!!

Personna Gems also work fine for me..................

 

I’m waiting on the Mergress with the bronze knob. I have been looking for a stainless steel razor that will give me a great shave but I just sold my Timeless; couldn’t get a proper shave. I had ATT, same. I recently bought a Blackbird polished closed comb, only two shaves in and a bit disappointed my beloved Voskhods don’t perform well with this razor. That got me thinking, what good is a stainless steel razor that won’t give me a great shave. I have a long handle Progress that gives me the best shave, so I thought, maybe a Mergress: looks great, hefty somewhat like steel and maybe I can get a great shave with it. I will hopefully have it in I’m guessing 3 weeks , as customs needs to keep it, much longer than necessary.

 

You know I was just thinking about your situation and thought about the asylum evolution . Is stainless steel and it's a mild razor.

 

Think I will calm down, use the Blackbird for a bit and refrain from buying before my wife divorces me. My concern for the perfect stainless steel razor has begun to take the fun out of this hobby.

 

You know the boys at customs have to shave too.
Hope they clean it up before you get it.
That's a nice razor, good luck and enjoy it.
