What are you waiting on to arrive...?

No point fighting it. Its one of those things that works out in the end.....by either having one of everything or going broke

 

Hahahaha. Yep. Guess your right

 

I have several doses of relief for my ASAD on the way, but I've just been notified by Razor Emporium that my 195 is shipping back to me with its new rhodium armor.

 

Wow. Looking forward to seeing it!!

 

Silvertip badger knot.


black tip SS, red tip SS, black handle SS

 

Triad Helix stainless handle.

 

You got that right! I hope I can find the "before" photos. I'm really bad about misplacing stuff like that.

 

Hahahah. I know the feeling!!!

 

Beautiful! Toby does great work.

 

One month into the wet shave routine and I've been hit with a pretty strong case of RAD.

Just this weekend I received the first of 3 vintage razors!

See my new Gillette Gold Tech.

I'm waiting on:

- 1955 Gillette Silver Flare Tip (birthday razor)

- Schick Golden 500 (I'm thinking that the lower blade profile will allow me to use it for mustache and beard touch-up and perhaps a full shave, as part of the razor rotation.)

It's official, I've got the fever!

@clint64 was extremely kind in helping me clean up and re-knot my Rubberset 400-3 for me.
Who am I kidding 'helping me'? He did all the work!
I sourced a Silvertip, Grade A (more backbone) knot and this is the result.
I can't wait to get this back and put it into my shaves and photos. Lots and lots of photos

The brush as I sent it out:


The handle all polished up:


Fitted with the knot:

 

Beautiful!!! I bet it'll feel great in the hand.

 

Really nice brush but trick photography is not allowed! Lol! Seriously tho, cool photo on the marble makes the handle look like it has crystal in the neck and handle. Quality job on the brush and photo!

This is the only brush on my wish list. Nice restoration!

 

I have both a 400-3 and a 400 unmarked. I would like to add a 400-4 but with the prices of the last couple of weeks, I'll wait until I'm able to snag one at a more sane price.

 

Please let me know if you find a deal on a model you already have, so I can snatch it up.

 

Will do.

 

Define 'deal'

Holy cow...I just took a look on eBay and what in the world has happened to the price on these brushes lately?! I mean they were always high (around $100) but right now they seem to command over $200 in most cases.
