Tomorrow's shave will feature my newly-arrived JR320 going for its first outing. The handle is mahogany, the knot is a 28mm SynBad from APShaveCo. The razor is a Gillette NEW Long Comb that was fitted some time in the past with a handle from a Durham razor. The soap and balm are made by our own @Pete123; good stuff - I bought the tub after trying a sample. It's going to be a great shave.

Great looking brush, Andrew. Jim does great work. I am interested to know what kind of knot you have in it? It sure matches the handle well.
@Jayaruh is not only a great brush maker - but he makes GREAT lather catcher handles! this handle looks like a vintage one (I don't know what razor it came with - but I seen it on eBay and it looks like this) Fit with the GEM JR Bar I got a amazing shave! The handle went great with my Semogue SOC Mistura!
Lately, I have been making boxes for razors that don't have one. (I did not realize I had made so many. More to come.)
Thanks. The LOJ's have been quiet. However, I have been running into a bunch of Jims in real life. I will have to give the League a bump.

Like Jim said, record time on shipping this one. One day from NC to MO has to be some kind of record for the USPS. Beautiful brush that had its first shave last night. Here it is alongside its two brothers, #46 and #54.
I made this box back in August. I wanted to make a Schick with a matching handle. Well, today, I completed the set by making the handle for the Schick. The handle is made from walnut and is in the shape of an original handle. The brush is a black synthetic with a large Cholula lid handle stained dark walnut. There is also a magazine of blades.
