No- but I would be glad to baby sit a few of your razors and brushes. I am a geologist and love those stone brushes Bob makes. I have an onyx brush but you have waaaay more copper in yours than i do

Your usual visual feast of excellence requires a stogie!

January - Shavettes and Jeeves!

January 28 - Blade Trial

Razor - 1962 (H1) Gillette Slim (6)
Blade - (2)
Soap - Arko
Brush - Jayaruh #312
Post - Alum, The Mighty Veg

Second shave of the Lamix trial. Dialed the Slim up to 6, used the faux horse JR312 to get a good lather and thoroughly enjoyed the feel. How do they make a synthetic horse knot act and feel like the real thing so well?! With the added benefit of no knots getting tied in the middle of the brush!

Three full passes and the blade continues to be smooth. Again, this is a blade made for sale in the Brazilian market and it's performing better than I thought it would, just based on its destination. Not sure why I'd assume blades bound for Brazil would be bad, but nice to see I over thought that. I can't say it's the sharpest blade I've used. I compared it to a Derby yesterday and I think that comparison holds true on the second shave. The finish was near-BBS so no issues getting the shave done. Alum still quiet so it's not adding any irritation. All in all a fine performance.

I did some checking today on buying theses blades. Only one seller popped up on ebay and the price was $16.97/50. That makes the blades about 32-34 cents each. A bit pricey when compared to Russians and others but not completely crazy. Tomorrow I'll dial it up to 9 and give them a final run to see how they like the wide open gap spaces.

I posted some pictures of a rather unique Gillette travel razor earlier in the 30DC thread. I'm looking for information on that particular razor since I now own one. The pictures came from an auction site that Charlie @wristwatchb found and he tipped me off on that particular razor. That auction finished up a little before 9 pm here and I wound up on top after a bit of late action, with Charlie cheering me on and even doing some late minute enabling to keep me in bidding mode. I found an entry for it in Wait's - but only two pictures and proof it was part of a Sterling Silver travel set. Quite unique and from what I've found I'd date it to 1921-1928. The Sterling case is by William B. Kerr. Eager to give it some loving. The razor head stores inside the silver case and just attaches so that the case becomes the handle.

​

Speaking of giving razors some loving, Matthew the Haunted Gillette New SC is currently vacationing in North Carolina where he will be treated to a brand new shiny gold finish! He'll get some extra shave time when he returns from that adventure as well. Have a great Tuesday! I have to go back to Illinois tomorrow to finish up the recall on the van so I'll be in and out. I'm ready to get that thing done and on the road making money!

Get your Mojo back on brother..... Good to see you posting.
