The Haul: December 2016

I received this beautiful brush yesterday, it has a tuxedo knot.

 

Dzia Dzia likey. Who's the fabricator?

 

Woooooow !!! Now that's a pretty brush!!!

 

Pretty - very pretty!

 

Very nice.

 

Thanks!! It has a razorback coin on the bottom.

Must be an Arkansas Razorback fan. Probably with a pun intended.

 

My Maggard aluminum handle that was damaged? $5 on Black Friday. I can't find the "ding"

Btw. It's very very nice, I'll try it on my RazoRock Black Hawk?

 

Kerry, that brush is gorgeous!

Yes. Thank you. I and like many pay attention to the way a brush/razor/handle feels in the hand. This brush feels so natural in my hand, the tuxedo knot is fabulous.

 

The artisan that created this brush plus its sister said one is in Italy and now San Jose, what happened to Arkansas???

 

Received the Gillette and the top schick in the mail and found the bottom schick in an antique store with inspection tag and most of the blades in it. Some of the blades were injected out and in the canister it appears from people playing with it vs using it.

**upon inspection the Gillette is an aristocrat I'm not sure though as the base plate states A4. What I do know is that this razor was replated and it's an ugly job. The razor is a couple of different shades. The knurling almost smooth now and it feels like there is a glossy coat on it. Portions of the base plate look as if there was some spray paint on it.. I'm opening a request for a refund. This this is ugly.

 

The maiden voyage was a VERY good one.

That Parker looks good!!

 

New member of my brush collection. Jim @Jayaruh is a sculptor. He took away the bits that weren't needed to turn a hunk of wood into a handsome functional handle. Stained and sealed, then installed a Maggards knot. My next lather is highly anticipated!

 

I was beginning to think there were no more razors in my area... I finally found these two. Paid a little more than I want to but still got them for a fair price. The slim looks pretty good as is but the Fatboy needs some work. Grungy and the adjustment doesn't work....for now.

 

Hoping for your success at reviving two classic pieces! Dawn dish liquid & mineral oil have restored several Fat Boys to service in my den.

 

Exactly my process. Soaking in dawn now with a toothbrush scrub, then some of my AMSOIL MP to loosen up the innards. The slim is immaculate after just a quick soak and scrub. All the paint is even still there.
