    Just got this custom made shave brush from Bill Reid over at Shore Shave today; he said I was the inspiration for this particular design. It’s quite the beauty indeed. 755F832F-E046-4F0E-9C3C-2D973286CACE.jpeg

    It's bugging the crap out of me. I've seen that razor before. Cased. At an antique store out by the Oregon coast. It took proprietary blades, so I skipped over it. Wish I could remember the name.

    I have a hack to allow Schick style injector blades. The handle tightens the blade and I wanted to use an Auto=Strop VB1 handle, but the threads are too short to tighten the blade. Will need something to place above the handle to make it work. Unless I make my own handle with a longer threaded part on the handle.

    Just got these in the mail today and just thought might as well show them off because I was thinking of this thread at the time.
    Yaqi mail call #2.jpg

    These are a few packages from Yaqi live sale and I bought 3 weeks ago,the brush was on sale and they have this Freebie raffle you have to compete with who are also interested and won a beautiful razor Yaqi dual "flip side" with the Aluminum hexagon handle(excellent razor IMO I have a different flipside head I bought on sale months ago). The Brush is the Bali 24mm Silvertip badger. The small sample bottles are aftershave(Hypnotic blue) that I will try, new product recently released so why not the price was right for the sampler.

    The brush looks great and the handle of the razor is a real charmer.

    Enjoy! Try those Treet blades in an old Gillette and see what you think. I get great shaves with it paired with my short comb new.
