The Haul: February 2016

CC payments via smart phone etc... What you selling ?

 

Accounting services. I'm a designated accountant starting my own office. I'm based out of my basement so mobile tech is best for me (and its free).

 

New venture ? Good luck with it.

 

One step closer to the Dark Side - this arrived today:



Really bad light - the razor is very shiny actually

 

today the Our Unrivalled extra hollow ground came in the mail.
I feel giddy.
couldn't wait to take it to the hones.
seems ready for action tomorrow.
all indications are great.
nice feel
sharp as the dickens
this old razor just exudes quality

 

Sure has a beautiful shape and lovely engraving! Enjoy!

 

Surprised to find this in the mail this evening. Custom @Jayaruh Jim brush with 24mm sunrise synthetic knot. Wonderful to hold fitting hand like a glove. Pine with Walnut stain and nice lacquered. Can't wait to try on next shave.

Hand modeling available for a nominal fee.

 

Wow that's a nice handle

 

Lovely brush! Jim does some fine work. Looking forward to your review Rob. Enjoy!

 

2/11/16 - Rolls Razor Imperial no. 2 has arrived!!!



Really cool design!!!
I like the weight and it's made solid! Very impressed!



All I need to do is get the blade honed and then work on the leather. It might need a little Mineral Oil too.

 

Today I gave $3 for an absolutely hideous but mint condition late '60s-early '70s avocado green Fire King D-ring mug. It's great. Gonna take it to work because I can leave it lay around and no one will steal it.

 

Received a Rockwell 6s v2.0

 

If you haven't seen it/them, there are some good threads on Rolls restoring/maintenance/use you might want to read, spread out over several wet shaving forums including TSD

 

Enjoy it! I have 3 brushes from Jim and they are all amazing.

 

I've seen a few of them. Soooo much info. Haha

It's amazing that you don't see more of these in the main stray of the community. Very unique.

 

I will thanks. I now have two of Jim's custom handle brushes.

 

I also got my straight razor today! Needs some minor cleaning and a good hone. Small bad spot on the edge which hopefully a pro can work right out. Cant wait to try it!

 

Thanks!
