What are you waiting on to arrive...?

Waiting on a restored brush that @jimjo1031 did a great job on. Also did a preorder on Barrister & Mann 42 aftershave and a towel. I already had the soap.

 

Front & rear ceramic brake pads for my car.

 

An unknown translucent yellow brush. Man I got it bad.



Gonna re-knot with a Maggard's 22mm black synthetic (if it will fit).

 

That handle will look real nice after cleaning and polishing.

 

That's what I'm hoping. Not sure if it's suppose to be yellow or if the clear aged yellow. I like yellow.

 

A Drygulch strop. I am preparing for my first foray into the world of straight razors. I have one on the way to one of our resident honers.

COMPNOR: The soaps you sent are in Austin! Should be in my den tomorrow night...can't wait to try them. Thanks, dude.

 

Welcome to the dark side!

Adam's strops are top notch and he uses high quality material. You did well. We've got a few good honers here and, whoever it is, your dealing with reputable gentlemen that know their stuff!

 

I feel pretty danged confident I am in good hands based on the work I have seen here. I'm excited!

Whipped Dog silver tip badger brush. 24 mm with 51 mm loft. Ivory handle. This will be my first badger brush.

 

After four months of waiting, I finally received notice of a shipment leaving South Africa....

 

My Pantarei brush is finished and on its way from Spain.

 

A synthetic horse hair for my Lime Beater brush I'm re-knotting.

 

$16 total. All from the fleamarket.

 

0600.

Carry on.....

 

Nicely done!

 

Some items from the TSD Shop: A couple different scents of the TSD Aftershave Milk to match soaps I previously got and liked (Lavender and Sandalwood), a bottle of M-Bomb so I can turn any shave into my individually chosen level of menthol for that day, and a bunch of sample scents of Salter, Trumper and TOBS shave creams that I was curious about. Those little samplers are a great way to try without buying a huge tubful that I may not like. Oh yes, and a couple empty tubs tossed in to hold some loose soap pucks.

That's something I am still looking for - containers to hold extra "refill" pucks. I could use about 10. Any suggestions for good containers and where to get them? I know some people use a container that Ikea sells, for example, but there isn't a store in my province.

 

Delivery in August 2017

 

Maggards sells them under their sample heading. They have new and used containers.
