Ok, after some more research, it seems this is the knurling pattern for Blue Tips, at least from all the ones I saw on Ebay. Maybe in case the color gets worn out it's a way to ID it. And Red Tips also have a distinctive pattern.
Finally placed an order for a jar of MDC. Yes... this is what I do at 4 a.m. while the wife is sleeping... I spend almost $80 on a jar of soap. Come 6 a.m. when she wakes up as well as the jar of MDC I will also be awaiting the arrival of EMTs and divorce papers.
My, uhm, Persol obsession and summer excitement resulted in yet another pair from the same store that had close-down deals where I've picked up a couple of other sunglasses This pair of Persol 649s (basically the same as the 714s but non-foldable) set me back GBP 64.00 / US $93.15 but I really like the Havana frame-blue lens combination... Now, I doubt I'll look as cool as Mr McQueen but hey, who can?
A NOS Wilkinson cartridge razor (Atra compatible) w/ five carts. $10 shipped Do you have nine of these @Sabre ?
I plan on switching up with my Ikon Tech. I also plan on giving the R11 another try with a different handle. What are your plans?
Sweet! I'm just gonna stick it on a Gillette Tech. I felt like it needed some extra weight to it. That and putting a different handle on one justifies having 2 of them lol. From what I see, it doesn't seem like the Scotch and Stowe head is any good. A lot of people just buy it for the handle like we did. Let me know how you like the Fatty. I had my eye on that one as well.
I started looking at the Scotch and Stowe handles, and ended up finding one by Techichi Shave Company called a Claymore. Brushed Stainless, no knurling, no logo. I need a handle for the brushed Mongoose head I just got, so it should be perfect. Under $20 shipped.
