For under $3cda I decided to order a small spice grater for fine shredding of shave soaps into shave bowl.
I got a user grade BT back in January. It was my first. I really like the feel of it and it delivers a great shave. When I saw this one, I had to have it. It is a beauty for sure. However, it will have to wait until April for its first ride.
My camera quit on me a couple of month ago and I have been using my wife's camera. I decided it was time I got my own, so here goes. Also, I am picking up this Baili DE razor at a really cheap price. I will probably put it in a pif for a newbie.
I use a tablet for picture and posting convenience. Is the Bali the same as Weishi ? I have a Weishi in a travel case for travel purposes only. Not bad but no vintage Gillette flare either.
Just wait and see. In 40-60 years.. The weishi will be our Gillette... Lol our grandchildren will be scouring looking for the gunmetal chrome Weishi 9206 with the limited edition blue plastic case and the rare red liner. There will be a nos set somewhere that still has the tiny brush and unopened pack of Dorco..
I actually got a tablet back in November and tried it out. I must be an old fogy because I just could not get it to work satisfactorily for me. I took it back. A flip phone, a laptop, and a digital camera is about as advanced as this old guy is going to get.
I don't think the Baili is Weishi made. It is the first Chinese TTO that I've seen that doesn't look like a Weishi, plus it is about 1og heavier.
Tablets and picture apps can vary. I use a Ipad with a resizer tool for posting to T.S.D. and limit the picture sizes to 750 for max post sizing. The advantage is the one stop picture and posting from same device for me. Some cameras can also do this.
My Merkur Futur with a home made stand from a friend of mine should be here tomorrow or Saturday. I will likely keep the razor on the stand until I think I am ready.
Just scored another Super Speed...a '48-'50. Edit: Turned out to be a Z1 (last year production of the '40s style), but very clean and solid. Gonna keep it anyway.
I bought this case for $5 shipped. Waiting for it to arrive. I believe it's for an old type.. I know it's missing the innards, but I bought it to see if I can revamp it. My idea is to make the inserts. I plan on buying the fabric which is purple velvet I think. And plan on making the tray out of wood and lining it. Worst case I have a blade storage. Question: if anyone has one, does the tray come out? If so, can some one take pictures and measurements for me? I saw mr razors pics and I believe the walls are made of cardboard and lined in velvet.
Semogue 620 boar brush. This to join my several year old Omega 10005 beechwood boar for face lathering. I love the look of the 620!
Yes, I saw that you and @Spud ordered one and I've researched it too. Looking forward to its arrival.
