What are you waiting on to arrive...?

Cant Wait to Get Her on the Hones..

Billy..

 

I'm waiting for the 2019 travel box......
Does that count?

 

I would think so.

 

Very much! When you have sampled and swapped be sure to post in The Haul.

 

Oh, believe you me, you will all know when I get it!

 

That looks nothing like a vintage Barbie .....

 

My first Truefitt and Hill set, Apsley

 

very cool..

 

I'm waiting on a couple of soaps from Lisa's but they are taking there time getting to me...held up in customs for several days for some reason...

 

Mini-binge...

 

I've been trying to find an NI head for my silver Tuckaway set. Apparently, it's easier to just buy another Tuckaway.


It was $20 and change shipped. Obviously, it's going to need some TLC when it arrives.

 

Pic looks like a red brass cap? I assume yellow brass for all these.

 

From what I've read, the brass used on certain Gillette heads contained more than the usual amount of copper and gives it that look. But when it's polished up, it looks nice.

 

Sure I'm familiar with them on the New but was not re the New Improved.

 

10 Gibbs no. 15 razors.



If anyone is interested pm me. I'll sell up to 8 of them for $10 a piece + shipping as a TSD member special, price will be higher elsewhere later on since I certainly won't need or keep this many of them.

 

If you need some purple material for it, let me know.

 

I was tempted until I saw it takes a proprietary blade.

 

They are easy enough to modify. You snip the tabs to shorten them (you can use a Gibbs blade as a template) if you don't want to add slots or grind down the cap.

 

I might be wrong, the article I saw I think it was for modifying blades for Gibbs razors. Won't a good paper punch be able to take off what has to be done to the blade?

Hand nibbler works well also. Second option is to trim the tabs the blade to fit between the posts. Other option is to align the blade on the cap and head and press down hard and let the cap punch out the holes.
