    Got a new swiss army knife, it's a custom super tinker with stonewashed titanium scales. I like it!

    I'll be buying a limited run brush handle, too. It's a phosphor bronze R-400 clone, only chubbier. They're still being machined so I've only got mock-up images at the moment, really excited to see how they turn out. It's sized for a 28mm knot, still not sure what I'll be putting in it yet- can't decide between Maggard's SHD fan knot or a Declaration.

    Steve Tinter of Alpha Shaving is behind it, he may still have a few spots open- it was limited to ten IIRC.

    Wow, awesome find! Those Executive cases are hard to come by. It looks like the mirror is largely intact, too.

    Yep mirror is fine. Shockingly nobody has yet PIF'd me their Executive to house in it.

    Nice find John! Never knew British Stirling made a Musk scent. Sorry to hear it doesnt have that Classic BS scent, wonder if perhaps adding a lottle bit of the original would help, although that is a nice set so perhaps not worth the trouble.

    I get bored at work and my bank account takes a hit. Some fun looking stuff here though.
    This is the sellers picture.

    Looks like you got a good bunch!
    What is the thing that has Dewar's white label on it? Is it a box cutter? Doesn't matter, I call dibs on it in the will, since you know that is my brand!
    Looks like there is also a Merkur 37c in there. Can't wait to see you use that, I have to do my video of it after yours!

    Digging that slant. You know if it's a Hoffritz or Pomco yet?

    I heard that once you get a good edge on it and find the proper angle, you can get an amazing shave with that. :shaver .................. :happy097:

    I have one that looked like that. It was found under a house actually.

    Took considerable elbow grease to clean that up (somebody stole my Dremel).

    In the mailbox waiting for me when I got home from work was this unobtanium soap from @PLAla. Thanks again, Perry, for such a generous PIF!
