I rather like industrial-looking designs so was happy to pick up this cased Tre Teste that is now making its way to me.....
Just placed the order that has been in my cart since halfway through NBJ. The Veg, Osage Rub, and Mandom.
I've got a NOS puck of Old Spice shave soap on the way. Surprisingly, I've never used it before, can't wait to give it a try.
Awaiting the arrival this week of several vintage straight razors. All Sheffield-made by Geo Wostenholm & Sons; This unusual frame back razor in gold with bone scales (circa 1880) This ornately-bladed IXL (1890-1900) This older frameback (circa 1850-1860). It doesn't look like much now, but these old frame backs polish up nicely! I had one in similar condition before restoring it. The FB cleaned up quite well…
I've been wet shaving for years and never bothered to try Prorazo until a week or so ago. I got the Sandalwood, and I gotta say, every shaver should have a tub of Prorazo in their Den. Of course I also think every shaver should have Mitchell's Wool Fat, Feather blades, and Henry Weinhard's Black Cherry soda in their dens too. I'm also waiting on a TGN F2 18mm Finest knot for a travel tube Rubberset restore.
That is cool. I really like the contrast between the groves and the flats. Did Toby anodize the groves on the handle?
Yes I agree. He anodized the grooves with a lighter color blue than he had been using. It should look good next to some of my brush handles.
It is official. I am now awaiting the arrival of a Black Beauty, a generous gift from Don in South Florida (@Dzia Dzia ). It turns out to be my Rebirth Year razor. O4
