What are you waiting on to arrive...?

Another large vintage razor arriving this week: from Sheffield, built in the Washington Works of George Wostenholm & Sons, circa 1848-1880;
Hollow-notch nose, hollow-ground 7/8" blade; double-shoulder; original black horn scales and stacked brass washers. Rare to find these old Sheffield old razors with the original horn scales intact as usually there are cracks or splits that have developed around the hinge pin, particularly the large-bladed ones.

 

Wow! Classic cool score!

 

I pulled the trigger on a
stahly live blade
and
rolls razor
unable to get pics, y'all know I'll post on the haul, when they arrive.

 

My old type is at my local post office. Hopefully it comes today and they put it in the right box this time.

 

Bought this lot and should arrive in a week or so:

 

I have three 18mm badgers, one 20mm finest, and a 22mm silvertip I am waiting on from China. Two different suppliers.

 

"China - worst place to be a badger"

 

True. Your hide gets sent off to the brush factory and the rest of you becomes General Tso's chicken.

 

teriyaki chicken on a stick, I've cut a lot of birds, never been able to place where those meat popcycles are from. ignorance is truly bliss.

 

Waiting on this thing that set me back $30 tonight.

 

For $8.99 w/ free shipping it was too hard to resist bringing this little bugger home....
It just miiiiight need a new knot...


Guess my only two questions are;
1) What size of a knot it will end up taking, and
2) If it's an Erskine, Ever Ready...or something else.

 

In my fever haze I bought an unopened/boxed bottle of Avon Wild Country Aftershave $3.99 free shipping. And in this same condition I bought a 5 ounce bottle Men's Choice Brisk, $4.49 free shipping I need to stay off the bay when I have a fever.

 

Hahahahha spoken like a real addict

Also picked up this little Maw of London brush and canister that I'm stealing from the UK to bring here to the US

 

Thanks to the enabling of @Darkbulb I pulled the trigger on a nice Russian razor. Nice meaning it's a pretty rare find, not necessarily that it will shave nice. It is a Soviet era razor after all. The Mladost 2 - currently on a goat cart out of

Get a nice horse knot in there, some polish for the wood and shine up the metal. Great piece!

 

It shipped this morning....a Russian gem that @Darkbulb helped enable. Should be on a cart behind a goat leaving Bulgaria.

 

Hope it knows how to swim

 

Interesting history behind this one ...
