What are you waiting on to arrive...?

Georgetown Pottery customer service is excellent and so are their scuttles. I told them not to worry about the scuttle mix-up of sending the G12 Second instead of the G20 Second and to keep the 5 buck difference. They told me to send them a pic of the scuttle. I did and informed them that I would rather keep the G12 as the depth of the lathering bowl seemed perfect for my brush knots. They credited my 5 bucks anyway and informed me they were sending me a "little something extra out today for my awesomeness." I cant wait to see what it ends up being!

 

My Simpsons Tulip 3 and TSS Stainless Steel XL Brush Stand arrived today from The Superior Shave. I like the look and feel of both of them. I'd also like to thank the Superior Shave for the bonus they threw in the box, a 90g bar of Alles Seife "Men Only" Shaving Soap No. 1. I haven't used a shaving soap in a while and plan on giving it a go the next time I shave. It has a very nice scent.

 

Coming soon from The Stray Whisker

 

Menthol crystals. Need to cool down in this heat.

 

I have a bunch of cracked-handle NEW and Old Types, so I am waiting for this to arrive:



Time to do some razor-renovations!

 

Niiiiice!! Can’t wait to see the finished product !

 

Dr. Jon's is pretty underrated IMO. They offer some great scents and the A/S lasts a long while.

 

Nice choices!

 

I picked this brush up; looks similar to a Shavemac Beehive.

 

Finally a rotary tool for polishing. And I sent back the Pixel I bought last week which had a funky microphone and ordered a Pixel 2. For Improved shaves of the day .

I won this on the TSD Raffle. I will try to put it out of my mind and be surprised when it shows up.

 

An El-Jefe head on an MR-5 handle from @Kypros Christodoulides. It'll be my first razor with these SE style blades.

 

Won myself a black Alumagoose from Maggard last Saturday. I couldn't be there this year unfortunately because my oldest girl's high school graduation ended up being the same day. (What WERE they thinking?) But I got an email Monday telling me I'd won. It should be arriving tomorrow.

 

Anyone experiencing longer than normal transit times, and/or lack of scans, especially in SE CONUS?

 

eBay is having one of their 20% off everything sales...short handle Blackbird. Because how can I evaluate my poor man's Blackbird without the real deal. That's my story. Also hoping the short handle will fit the 1912.

 

Picked up a very sweet '47 Super-Speed and a new tub of B&M Seville.

 

Maybe it will fit that new German razor I recently got......

 

This post suggests that the Blackbird uses a threading that is not common among other razors:
