The Haul: December 2016

I love the Brad Sears logo. It looks so Old School.

 

Take a peek….SOTD

 

He's a very talented craftsman. Plus a real gent.
From his website: As of October 3, 2016, Brad Sears Shave Works delighted to announce a collaboration with Morris & Forndran, one of the finest names in Shaving Brushes.
Quality stuff right there….

 

There is no denying that M and F makes some of the most classicly wonderful brushes out there. Maybe his partnership with Brad will bust him loose from the Howard Hughes - ness of his mastery, and allow some new people to enjoy his work.

That is a beautiful brush, Kevin. Congrats!

 

Thanks! I'll put it to work this afternoon.

 

Just in is this Gillette Twinjector with 8 TracII twin injector blades. It cleaned up very nicely.

 

Super cool find. Can it take single blades too?

 

Yes, it does single blades too. That is what I will probably be using. It probably won't be until January before I try this out. Well, maybe I will do one of two passes with it. I am doing Gillette DEs this month.

 

I think I recognize that one................

 

How's that?

 

Looks like the one I saw on Ebay, with one pack of blades from a torn in half package, one without.

 

Yep.

 

Gift in the mail from another member, awesome scent and performance.

Stopped in my favorite junk shop today. No razors, but he had a box full of old Case knives I helped him figure out the ages on. Will go back for one of those. Did find a soap stick case and four Wade & Butcher DE blades.

They are thick, curved, and look like they could be honed. Anyone know anything about them?

 

I know that there is or was a DE razor by them on eBay .

 

I'm really glad that was above my price range for impulse buys. Cool razor though.

 

Honed one up last night. Leaves a nice smooth edge. Test shave this morning..

 

Great little razor. I rather like them but find it to be just a little bit too lightweight.

It is however the only mass produced injector Gillette ever made

 

I had some time to kill before my flight and stopped at an antiques store. I found a nice straight that is now in the belly of the plane. Pics to follow.

 

I saw this scratched up case at an antique store with a Tech in it. I offered a couple of bucks for the case and brought it home and put my 195 in it.
