I am waiting for Larry at Whipped Dog to get back from his vacation. I tried to order a day too late. I must wait until August 18 for him to return or find another supplier.
Threw out a bid of about 40% of the recommended price on one of those auctions that accepts offers...and, well, he accepted Pretty excited about it. Always liked these old wood-metal brushes and I liked that this brush has a very vintage look to it - but no real damage. Actually it looks really neat and I might just reknot it and do very little else to it unless people that know a lot more about brushes than I do (so...basically all of you) would recommend something else.
Waiting for delivery on a 50s Era Pal Adjustable Injector. My 5th injector that I've yet to have a full shave with any of them! So many razor, and only one shave each day!
It gets worse. I was polishing up my collection when my 14 year old son came in. I told him that all these will be yours someday. His reply? How much are they worth? Ungrateful snot.
Tough age. Mine just turned 23 and will be visiting this next week. I told him of my new affinity for vintage razors - he's keen to learn and we'll be shaving together this week. I hope to send him off with my first razor - a Gillette Tech. Hopefully yours will come around as well, give him time. Cheers! RT
Ah, he's a good kid. He informed me the other day that he had a few whiskers on his upper lip and wanted to shave them. I went through the process with him and he said it seemed like a lot of trouble for a few hairs. I agreed and bought him a can of barbasol and a bag of disposable 2 blade razors. I told him to use them until he couldn't stand it anymore them come see me again.
Great advice! My dad sent me off to college with an electric razor and it took me 40 years to wise up. I told him recently (he's 90) that I just took up DE shaving and he said "best shaves he ever had!" So get back to your son after he appreciates having to shave every day.
Reading your previous posts about these and the Executive piqued my interest. Thanks for the info you post on injectors. Can't wait to try this one.
I'd just put a new knot in there and hit the handle with orange oil to give it a nice shine, assuming the old knot can't be salvaged. I hope you don't mind. I set that picture as my wallpaper background on my phone. That's some good photography. My biggest fear is that "they" will sell my shaving stuff for what I told them I paid for it. I'm also waiting for one of these. http://m.ebay.com/itm/FATTY-NEW-VIN...ETIC-DEFECT-/261959319196?txnId=1668594010016 If anyone is envious, they have more. $13.93 + free shipping
