Getting to the end of summer. Fall scents and a little crisper air. What's in yer haul this week? Pics always appreciated.
Got a 24 mm PC Woodcraft super badger knot in today. Looks really nice in the brush. We'll see how she shaves Wednesday.
I had to pick up a new phone today as my HTC Hero decided it no longer wanted to work. Ended up with a Samsung Nexus S.
Happy Monday From Florida! Today in the mail is: Copperhat Custom Horse. This is a super soft brush. If I was not told it was horse, I would swear it is badger. Strivel Adjustable. (nabbed from Damon off the B/S/T) Odd little duck this razor is... Three packs of Feather's (traded with dadvest / Mike) Brut styptic pencil (bought locally at Winn Dixie) A copy of The Big Lebowski Have a great week Ya'll!
Well here is an interesting haul. I had the Neillite Four Hundred head and base plate but no handle. The base plate only had a minor scuff which is good for these razors given that they are bakelite. I received a Neillite Four Hundred with a damaged head and so the correct handle could be used with the good head and base plate. Now it is a complete unit. This is an aggressive shaving razor since I put it on a tech handle to find out how it shaved before I received the correct handle.
Don't you love the Big Fellows in their distinctive wooden cases. I located this beauty and am glad to add it to my collection. With it's multi-language instruction booklet too.
I have a real attraction to the British open comb Popular model and the #45 is no exception. Here is a set that appears to have been sent my way via a time machine. Really charming and what a beauty. Great shipper and a great list price from the late 1930s. With directions for use -- in case I didn't know... Really looks like one of those "left in a draweer after being purchased new in 1938" and now part of an estate sale that I was fortunate enough to have purchased.
Wow stunning I've got afew new bits some I will only get next wk, some will be October! Hey Jake I joke that jody has a time machine, do u2 have a joint venture or would that be a time share. Any way another great find, I love the case.
Ha! Jake somehow, someway always finds the nice ones. When I find a nice minty set, it's rare. Jake finds them all of the time. I still don't own a Popular and I think he's got 4 or 5 now.
I had an adjustable personna injector that I loved the look of. Unfortunately I couldnt get a shave to save my life from the thing. I haven't used the fixed version. Are you going to use it or just keep in the den? If you use it, please post your thoughts.
I hope to use it soon after the next two razors in the rotation. I have a Pal Adjustable. It shaved O.K. but not as good as the Schick Adjustable. They look great though!
I got these in a good will auction... ... ... they came bundled with the Schick Injector Top-to-bottom MB Razor Co GenCo Co - Gold Seal Jr Wedge - Salamander Ontario Cutlery Co HDFH & Co
Got these two brochures from 1930 in yesterday... I got it for the New Gillette Blade brochure so if anyone collects Probak razors, hit me up with a PM and I'll PIF you the Probak brochure, no charge... (edit: Probak brochure claimed and nolonger available)
Today I bring you a Frankenrazor. I received a Century handle, but no head. I also had a Gillette Old Head available with no handle. Therefore, these two were merged into one razor. It has a nice handle length and a weighted to the head. Interesting combination.
Kewl Glasses! Finally finished customizing my Winchester 94. I had the gunsmith to blue & case-harden it, add a saddle ring, add full buckhorn sites and a stock front site with hood. I took the stock to a local Amish fellow for re-finishing. I was going to do the stock myself but the Oklahoma heatwave just wouldn't allow that (read health problems lol) The basketweave saddle scabbard I purchased from my Bro.
