I've been busy ordering stuff today. From IB, Stainless Steel Barber Pole handle for my Game Changer head, XXX beard/goatee oil. PAA new unbreakable scuttle, having broken my fair share of bowls, it's time I buy something that'll last.
You were on such a roll of buying SE razors there. Then you killed it by ordering the DE. Nice looking one though.
@GarnerPW I've been trying to grab a Gillette Rocket HD500 for nearly 3 years, and I finally got one after so bloody long.
Just ordered an omega 10098 boar bristle brush. Should be here Monday. my justification is the price couldn't be beat lol
Just waiting for these, plus some other misc pens and ink. The syringe pens are _working_ syringes, and aerometric filler fountain pens. The nibs are under the heads, and the syringe tip is a short tube. So you could use it to fill another pen, then clean it out and use it for writing. The next set is two junky DE's I bought, not to hone, but to see what they look like under the crud. Straight entertainment, not expecting anything worth the $10 I paid. The last is the bright and shiny fountain pen I bought to give to a customer who REALLY likes green. (Anyone like Boxers? the dogs? )
No need for an excuse with that brush. They are great! I have the JR 176. A hand turned handle with a 98 head..I also have a B-400 brush made by @twhite with the 98 bristles in it. Both are favorites with Williams.
I'm glad to hear that. I'm using an omega 10005 boar right now and I love it, want to see what the longer loft and handle is all about . $15 shipped can't be beat
Not sure if I did it right, but with my first boar I soaked it in hot water a few times then did a few test lathers with prosao green and voila.....smell was gone . I'm no expert but I'll post my opinion of the new brush once I start using it .
