Regrettably, the time has come... I am OUT! I have given in to the allure of a certain shaving object who's call (and price) was too irresistible to ignore. I caved.... On the PLUS side, I acquired this bad boy... a late-19th century George Wostenholm & Son 'IXL' straight razor with scalloped spine, hollow notch nose and nearly 1" wide blade. Both original scales and blade appear intact. Should restore and polish up beautifully.... The perfect salve for my failure to make it past three weeks...
Adam turned me on to a fine looking dubl duck wedge! I actually got it in a 2nd chance eBay auction. Happy to now have a duck and a wedge at that!
Well, I'm still in and really haven't been lusting after anything. Doing a 30 day rule with supplies you already have has certainly made it easier. But, I really don't need anything.
still in and using up my lifetime supply of soaps/creams. sometimes products turn out better the second time around as I have found.
My heart is broken! LOL Thought you would hang. But man, 19th century? That's not vintage. That's antique! Great score Kevin.
Well, as Matt 26:41 says, "the spirit was willing, but the body is weak." I look at straights razors as vintage anything over 55 years (older than me! )The oldest I have are from about 1830-ish.
Wow now that's self-control right there Clint! Now HolyRollah on the other hand And he had the coolest of NBJ hats!
Daddy, why isn't there any food? Well son, I run a shaving supplies store and for some reason nobody is buying anything this month. If it weren't for Chris over at the Shave Den you wouldn't even have those stale bread crusts. Maybe in August we can get that operation to save your mothers life. Please hold the backlash. I'm kidding. I admire those of you with self control. I give to charity and eat my vegetables.
