The Haul: August 2014

I do like the texture handle top. Grippy! A beautiful brush!

 

Thanks, but the best of all is actually the hair on it. I have to admit I'm quite impressed by it, specially considering the knot is imported directly from China.

 

That is a really nice brush, but where did you get it from?

 

Thank you. It was made by Artesania Romera. You can contact the artisan, Gustavo, and ask him to make you the brush you want.

 

Thanks for the link, he has some very, very nice looking brushes.

 

Mail call

 

Excellent brush! May it serve you well!

 

I am not sure if I want to have juicy coffee!

 

Thank you Gary, I do believe it will.

 

very nice

 

That schick looks mint! Im going to have to grab a bag of that coffee as well....good stuff.

 

I'll let you know. It smells great!

 

Thanks! I'm going to brew up some coffee tomorrow. The Schick was really clean, it adjusts like it's suppose to.

 

Enjoy the Starbucks! I have to be honest—its been probably 33+ years since I've last used an injector razor. I know people rave about them, but right now I have more razors than I need to introduce another model. Someday, maybe….

 

I'm new to injectors, what I paid made them worth a try. The only thing I don't have is a straight, I don't have calm hamds.

 

I have the same 30mm knot coming but in a different handle. It's been so long since I ordered it, I almost forgot about it. Hope you enjoy it.

 

More glamorous razor-restoration goodies that shall be arriving on my doorstep soon….


Jealous?

 

Would it be possible for you to take a picture with each step of the process? I'd really like to see what you are doing.or a video. K

 

Kerry, I've taken a number of photos in this thread: My Restores, and I constantly add more shots there if i'm trying new things. One new process I'm trying is using the brass sheets (shown in the above post) to drill and stamp out my own bearing washers. I jump around so much now (3-4 razors at differing steps in the process) when I do get a chance to actually spend some time that inevitably I forget to take photos. I'm no pro at this, so mainly I try to show…warts & all…what an amateur can achieve if they spend some time at it.
Many of the processes I use can be found in Glen's vids (see Gssixgun on YouTube).

 

I find your work so fascinating, a video of you from start to finish would be such a great instructional video for someone taking on the task, or stuck in at particular point.
