What are you waiting on to arrive...?

Ok not shave related, but for a good cause ...

It's Clopin the Jester from 1996 Disney's Hunchback of Notre Dame. A few years back my son was cleaning out old toys he didn't want, and one of these were in there. Well the cat saw it and must have thought it was a voodoo doll of me, cause she'd bit it and shake it. Years later its head is just about to come off, so I bought two, to replace it, off ebay. If it keep my attack cat happy, I'm all for it.

 

100-pack of Gillette Silver Blue DE blades. I haven’t tried them yet but have read mostly good reviews. I’ve been using mostly Astra SP’s the last year with Feathers sprinkled in occasionally. I’m excited to try the GSB’s out. Only $19 if I don’t like them, which I doubt will be the case.

 

I'll be watching for this one as you bring it Jim. I have an old wood handle brush that looks similar that was my grandfathers.

 

Erg. I was waiting for three gold 3 piece Baili razors for giveaways. I got the package today.
Ordered on Feb 18th, marked as 'shipped' on the 20th. On the 4th of March, I was informed by the seller that it wasn't actually shipped, because of Chinese New Year (then why was it marked?), and it was shipped on the 5th. First strike. So, the package finally shows up. I was suspicious, because it wasn't bulky. I opened it. It was _one_ razor (but it was the right model and Baili - no game playing there) Second strike. Unfortunately, it's not gold. It's silver. I already _have_ a silver. Third strike.

So, I've sent a contact through AliExpress, and we'll see what happens. If the guy just drops three in the mail by Thursday, I'll leave it be, but it'd better be quick.

 

Update: Seller says he's reshipping, and purchase protection on AliExpress has been extended. If it shows up like it should, I'll probably even leave decent feedback on AE.

 

Woke up to see that I snagged this last nite. Not sure what model since had limited pics. I suspect most likly unnumbered. Leaning towards adding a synthetic brush.

 

Congrats ... the Cashmere or Timberwolf would look nice.

 

It's a beauty! Good looking original knot, but won't know if it's usable until you get it in hand. Not a boar fan?

Cashmere is a nice knot and would be close in color to the NOS look though shorter loft. I haven't seen Timberwolf - APShaveCo?

 

Maggard's has the Timberwolf

 

Ahh, like an upside down Tuxedo!

 

Yes, I maybe using one on the stencil brush I'm working on.

 

I found a carrier class brush on a BST:


A Doug Korn Stubby with a 35mm two band finest knot

 

35mm ... you can cover you whole face in two swipes.

But really it looks great!

 

Thanks, I've really been enjoying the larger brushes and they help me work through my soap inventory faster!

 

I saw this, through on a low bid and nobody else wanted it.



Looks like a German or Russian travel razor.

The other one ... a potato peeler.

 

I'm sure it'll chew through the soap!

 

Ordered six synthetic knots from Maggard's.

Synthetic Horse hair, Tuxedo, and Timber Wolf

 

Badger? Nice looking brush!

 

Thanks Keith. I got lucky. They sold out in a very short time.
2 band finest badger.
