Very classy Don @Dzia Dzia ! I'm not familiar with many new razors. Is it a SE? The head looks like it would take an injector type blade.

 

It's an SE that takes Artist Club blades. It's being shipped with a blade sampler from Try-a-blade. I've got a Colonial General that will shortly be shipped also. The RX is stainless and the General aluminum. I've been wanting a couple modern CNC razors and with bonus and gifts it was possible.

 

looking forward to hearing your thoughts. Congrats!

 

Got to pick. Spanish tip, file work on the scales, lower jimps, and a partially dyed buckeye burl for the scales. Should have it before February.

 

If I'm not mistaken this will come from Broomfield CO. I thought I heard the name before but couldn't remember the name of the blades until this post.

Correct. This is from Alfonzo Terrones in Bloomfield. He has been working on getting these razors where he is happy with them, and I think I am getting one of the first ones he is releasing into the wild.

 

I bought a few (5) straights from an older gent here in Colorado Springs who collected for years. He posted his over 300 straights on Craigslist and I saw it after it was up for 3 days. I was told of a guy from Broomfield was the first to scavenge the collection and I was the second. I was also told the guy makes razors and knives and I couldn't remember the name and your post brought it all together.

I have gotten an amazing Filly and two Dubl Ducks from that collection. Some awesome razors.

 

If I had the cash I would have bought all of them lol

Slid in one more software order in 2016. I have chatted with the owner of this company on FB, and love supporting a local vendor. Based on my order number, looks like I am his 5th customer. https://www.wheatstatesoaps.com/
I ordered the barbershop scent. I had told the owner I would order a soap once his site was up, so I'm glad he got it up before my No Buy 2017, software edition started.

 

If you "slide the order in"(as you say)before 2017, does it count as a "NB" if you get it after Jan 1? (NB17, that is).

 

He will be good. It doesn't count because he didn't purchase it in 2017 he only received it in 2017. He can also trade technically. Since it won't be a purchase only product exchanging hands.

 

And to clarify, mine is Software only. I have another order from Maggards due to come in as well.

 

Cold War example of West German shave items that were never used. Klar Shaving Soap with Wooden Bowl with lid & Brush.

 

To consolidate, this week I should receive:
-1966 Gillette NOS Tech Travel kit
-GEM 1912 Damaskene
-Omega Boar (10049) brush
-Full puck of Tabac + bowl
-RazoRock Lavender Shave soap
-RazoRock Puros AS
-Clubman Special Reserve AS

With that my Christmas money is spent and I "should" be stocked up for the coming year.

are you getting the Clubman SR from their website with their 10% discount?

 

No sir I didn't see that. Walgreen's had it for a good price with Free shipping to the store.

Actually Walgreen's is cheaper, and the store is 2 minutes from my house so it worked out well.
