Jim, looks great!

I use horse and Mann. Then load it with Arko about 3 or 4 times letting it set I between loadings.
Then use the stink out of it!

My 195 arrived from Razor Emporium as well as other stuff I am really diggin the new carbon fiber iPhone case.

There's a lot of goodies in that haul!

Mail call today! An Universal Shavette from Italy! It takes the full DE blade!

Can you let us now what it's like to use. I've always been intrigued by those.
Where did you get it from?

How deep did you set it? What is the knot size? Did you add something to raise the knot, if so what did you use? It looks amazing!!!
I believe the hole depth is 22mm on those handles.

The depth on mine was 18mm. I think that the depth might vary somewhat.

1921 Silver Gillette
Would you call this a single ring? Old Type?

Gotta read up on what I can and can not use on a silver razor. All I know is they tarnish easily.

nice single ring.

I have a few ball end old types and enjoy them. I'm looking forward to trying this one.

Very nice!

Thanky.

It's not a razor, but I had to buy it

James G. Barry vintage shell strop
2 unknown sharpening stones
&
A Schick Krona for an unbelievable price of $.50

Just to clear things up, The Krona was $.50

Still...

Another small find today... Ever-Ready 150 and a no-name scuttle.

I've officially hit all the stores in the immediate area and surrounding towns.

I will let you know once I get up the nerve to try it! I have a friend that lives in Italy so I just sent him the money and he sent me one.

Thx.
